Use Deep Clone as a Jira workflow action for Single Clone or Epic / Tree Clone.
We support up to 10,000 work items that can be cloned during Epic/Tree workflow actions.
Step by step
-
Create a Jira workflow and add any required work item statuses and transitions.
-
Click on the transition that should trigger the clone action.
Clone without transitions: If you want to trigger the clone action without a status change, use a looping transition that is triggered by Jira automation, see: Jira Automation and Jira Workflows (combined).
-
Click the + icon next to Perform actions.
(Or, click Perform actions, then select Add perform actions rule.) -
Continue with the next steps, depending on your use case.
Typical use cases
For all Deep Clone automation use cases, see Automated Clone .
-
Click Add.
-
Click Update workflow.
Done! You have added a Deep Clone action to your Jira workflow.
If the workflow action was unable to run (for example if there are missing required fields to create the new work item), an email notification will be sent to the administrator that was the last one to save the Deep Clone workflow action.
Note that Deep Clone won’t run the workflow action if it was triggered when creating another clone, avoiding endless cloning loops. This can happen if you configure a Deep Clone workflow action on the initial “Create” transition with the same target space (project).
