automatically clone a task

[Ivan Andrieiev]

is it possible to automatically clone a task after a period of time, there are simply tasks of the same type that need to be performed once every few months or weeks.

Hi @Ivan Andrieiev,

Have you considered using an automation rule with a scheduled trigger?

That way you could have it run at a particular interval and use a JQL query to execute against a list (or a single issue) when you could clone the issue.

I hope that helps!

[Jimmy Seddon]

Sure thing!

This is a rough skeleton of the idea that you want to create:
