Supported Fields
Clone Expert for Jira allows you to clone epics, work items (issues) and sub-tasks while keeping their structure, details and context.
One of the key aspects of cloning is how fields are copied. This page lists the supported fields that are preserved during the cloning process.
The table below lists all Jira fields currently supported during the cloning process. These fields can be copied from the source issues and are available for editing in the cloning form under the Additional fields section.
Even if a field is not explicitly selected in the Additional fields section, its value will still be cloned - as long as it's supported by the app.

Checklists from Marketplace apps
Clone Expert can clone and edit checklist data when it is stored in a Jira field created by a Marketplace app.
The fields below are not native Jira fields. They are created by checklist apps installed on your Jira instance.
Smart Checklists for Jira (TitanApps)
Checklist – Stores checklist items (including hierarchy) in a Jira field.
Checklists for Jira (HeroCoders)
Checklist Text – populated when the HeroCoders app is configured to sync checklists to custom fields.
Custom fields and limitations
Most commonly used custom fields are supported. Some advanced field types (like integrations with Marketplace apps) may require additional testing. If you encounter a field that is not cloned as expected, please reach out to our support team.
Summary
Supported fields ensure that cloned work items in Jira are complete, accurate and ready to use without manual editing. With Clone Expert, you can be confident that both standard and custom fields – along with hierarchy, comments and attachments – are preserved in the cloning process.
