Post Function Clone
Clones can be triggered automatically when transitioning issues. To enable that, you’ll have to add a Jira post function. How to add a post function is explained in the Atlassian documentation.
You can trigger a Deep Clone with Jira Automation by adding a Deep Clone post function to a (looping) transition.
In the post functions tab, select “Deep Clone”
Add the “Deep Clone” post function
Set any necessary parameters
Publish the updated workflow
Now, a clone is created automatically every time the adapted transition is executed.
It’s also possible to add several “Deep Clone” post functions.
If the post-function was unable to run (for example if there are missing required fields to create the new issue), an email notification will be sent to the administrator that was the last one to save the Deep Clone post-function.
Note that Deep Clone won’t run the post function if it was triggered when creating another clone, avoiding endless cloning loops. This can happen if you configure a Deep Clone post function on the initial “Create” transition with the same target project.
