Bulk Copy #Elements Copy & Sync

Leverage a template project : bulk clone jira issues with Elements Copy & Sync

Use case benefits

Create new projects with standardized issues as part of a consistent process

 Streamline your process control by bulk cloning Jira issue templates

Set up templated deliverables in Jira and easily add them to new projects with Elements Copy & Sync. When your processes repeat often, you can create template issues like Initiatives, Epics, stories, or tasks in a Master or template project, then clone everything into a new project from Jira search results. Even the attachments and comments can be copied, saving the user significant time.

Bulk clone, clear, or change field values based on the target project

The Jira issue templates in your Master project may include fields you sometimes want to clone, other times clear, or even set with static options. To reduce the manual work when filling a new project, Elements Copy & Sync no code field mapping options allows you to decide with each recipe which fields will be cloned, cleared, or changed. This flexibility makes the cloning process smoother and more adaptable to each user’s context.

Synchronize changes between Master project issues and cloned issues

Have you updated the detailed process to follow in the description of a template issue, perhaps diagrammed in an attachment? Or changed a component or label? By activating synchronization from source to target in the recipe, there is no need to manually update each cloned issue after a change in the Master project. This ensures that every user benefits from consistent documentation, whether they’re working on a new story or managing an Epic.

Tutorial

Bulk clone up to 1000 Jira issues at once

As a Process Manager, you use Jira to store and reuse a “library project” which contains hundreds of issues. Cloning hundreds of issues manually is not a satisfying solution. Thanks to Elements Copy & Sync, it is possible to duplicate all these issues at once based on a Jira search result or a Jira Filter. The cloning feature is designed to scale, helping every user manage large projects without frustration.

Does this bulk clone Epics?

Yes, you can bulk clone Epics and all the issues under the Epics, including linked stories that keep your project hierarchy intact.

How do I choose the project where the issues will be bulk copied?
