Presets allow you to save and load a reusable combination of clone settings. They are meant for recurring clone use cases, speeding up the process and avoiding mistakes.
Presets are not mandatory. Simply leave the Preset dropdown in the cloning dialog empty to clone work items without using a preset.
Create a Preset
-
Navigate to Apps > Deep Clone > Manage Presets
-
Select the type of preset you want to create (Single, Bulk, or Epic/Tree Clone)
-
Click Create new preset
Clone an Work Item With a Preset
-
To clone with a preset, start the clone process normally
-
In the case of an Epic/Tree or Bulk Clone, you have to select a target space (project) first, and fetch the work items to clone
-
Above the clone form, click on the preset dropdown
-
Select a preset to load
-
Immediately use the preset by clicking “Clone Immediately” or “Create and confirm”, or edit the loaded clone settings below
Add a Preset to the Deep Clone - Trigger Presets action menu
This feature has been modified on Sep 25, 2025. Previously, a preset could be added directly as a new, separate entry in the work item action menu. This functionality is not yet supported in the Atlassian Forge framework, to which we must transition the app. We plan to reintroduce this feature as soon as the Forge framework supports it.
Adding a preset to the Deep Clone - Trigger Presets action menu is only available for Single Clone and Epic/Tree Clone presets.
-
In the Preset form, select Add to the "Deep Clone - Trigger Presets" work item menu
-
Save the Preset
-
You can now quickly clone a work item with the Preset through the action menu
Configure Default Presets
You can select one preset as the Default Preset for each clone type. The clone dialog will preselect this preset when opened, pre-filling the settings accordingly.
Set a default preset
-
Navigate to Apps > Deep Clone > Manage Presets
-
Select the preset type to create: Single, Bulk, or Epic/Tree Clone.
-
Locate the preset to set as the default in the list.
-
Click the check mark button to the right of the preset name.
Unset a default preset
-
Navigate to Apps > Deep Clone > Manage Presets
-
Select the preset type to create: Single, Bulk, or Epic/Tree Clone.
-
Find the current default preset by the filled circle with a check mark icon to the right of its name.
-
Click the check mark icon to unset the default preset.
Single Clone Default Presets apply the target space, target work type, and subtasks settings only if the user has access to the target space.
Epic and Bulk Clone Default Presets apply the target work type and subtasks settings only if compatible with the selected target space.
