Who is Clone Expert for?

The app is designed to simplify daily routines involving recurring issues and activities performed in cycles.

It is built for project managers, product owners, agile teams, as well as professionals in HR, legal or marketing who work with repeatable workflows.

Simplify task management with smart Jira cloning

Clone Expert makes your daily work easier by offering multiple cloning options for different scenarios:

Clone epics with full Jira hierarchy

Duplicate epics, including all child issues and subtasks in a single step.
Bulk clone only child work items (issues)

Clone stories, tasks or sub-tasks without copying the parent epic.
Single work item clone

Quickly duplicate just one issue for a specific activity.
Hierarchy cloning on any level

Clone issues across multiple levels, including parent initiatives in Jira Premium.
Bulk cloning of any selected work items

Choose and duplicate any issues.

With so many cloning options, you stay in control and can adapt the process to any situation.

Clone issues arise with transparent editing before cloning, which preserves hierarchy.

Adjust fields before cloning for ready-to-use issues

Ensure accuracy and quality by preparing your work items before they are created:

Transparent table view

Edit any field values in an easy-to-use table before cloning.
Manual field adjustments

Change field values directly for maximum control.
Select child issues to clone

Include or exclude specific sub-tasks and stories as needed.
Set new issue types

Convert a Bug into a Task, or a Story into a Feature while cloning.
Work type mapping for cross-project cloning

Automatically map issue types when cloning across projects.
Bulk field updates

Replace values, add prefixes or suffixes, or overwrite content in multiple issues at once.
Bulk date updates

Shift due dates forward or backward to keep timelines accurate.
Add new issues into cloned sets

Insert additional tasks directly into the cloned structure.

By customizing issues before cloning, you save time and maintain full control. No more fixing details after cloning or deleting unwanted duplicates.

Advanced cloning for maximum flexibility

Work doesn’t always follow a standard pattern. Clone Expert provides advanced options to adapt cloning to any scenario:

Cross-project cloning

Copy Jira work items (issues) to another project and choose your cloning strategy.
Clone or skip sub-tasks

Decide whether to include sub-tasks or leave them out.
Copy attachments

Include or exclude files as needed.
Copy links and watchers

Retain relationships and tracking settings when cloning.
Clone child issues into existing parent

For example, copy stories from one epic into another.
Set a new parent for cloned items

Clone epics into initiatives (Jira Premium) or assign stories to different epics.

These options give you the flexibility to handle any situation efficiently.

Cloning Jira child issues independently from their parent epic or another work item in the hierarchy.

Create reusable templates for recurring tasks

Turn your Jira items into templates and duplicate them anytime you need:

Create reusable Jira hierarchies

Save an epic with all its child issues and sub-tasks as a template and reuse it anytime.
Use templates for single issues

Make one issue a template to speed up repeating tasks.
Standardize descriptions and acceptance criteria

Ensure every cloned item includes consistent formatting and details.
Manage templates flexibly

Create templates within your project or keep them in a dedicated template project.
Use dynamic placeholders

Insert variables that are automatically replaced with the correct values at cloning time.

Most work in Jira is not identical but similar. Clone Expert helps you duplicate Jira items smartly and adapt them to your current needs.
