Which structure do you need to clone?
At first glance, both apps may look similar. Both apps help teams standardize and accelerate repeatable work in Jira by reusing existing work structures and adapting them before creating each new instance.
The key difference is the type of structure they are designed to clone.
Choose Clone Expert if:
-
your work is organized as a parent-child hierarchy;
-
Epic → child work items → subtasks structure with levels above Epic;
-
you need to clone any selected set of work items using Bulk Clone;
-
you want to schedule recurring or future cloning.
Choose Advanced Template Cloner if:
-
your work is organized as linked work items;
-
relationships such as blocks, is blocked by, and relates to define the structure;
-
you want to clone a connected work item structure while preserving those relationships.
Clone Expert for Jira
Parent-child hierarchy cloning in Clone Expert
In addition to cloning any selected set of Jira work items using Bulk Clone, Clone Expert can clone structures based on Jira’s native parent-child hierarchy.
This includes, for example, an Epic together with its child work items and subtasks, as well as custom hierarchy levels above Epic available in Jira Premium and Enterprise.
Where to find child work items in Jira
Open an Epic or another work item from a hierarchy level above Epic and find the Child work items section.
If you want to clone that structure, use Clone Expert for Jira.
Advanced Template Cloner for Jira
Linked work item structure cloning in Advanced Template Cloner
Advanced Template Cloner is designed for cloning a work item together with its linked work items and their subtasks. Those linked items may be connected through relationships such as blocks, is blocked by, relates to, or other Jira link types.
Where to find linked work items in Jira
Open a work item and find the Linked work items section.
If you want to clone the main work item together with its linked structure, use Advanced Template Cloner for Jira.
