  --action cloneIssues --jql "project = zjcli and component = TestComponent"

  Issue DEMO-605 cloned to DEMO-606. Issue DEMO-604 cloned to DEMO-607. 2 issues cloned.

  
  

• To clone a batch of issues from one project to another project,

...

• use the

...

• cloneIssues action command. As an example, assume that zjcli and zjiracli are the project keys of two different projects, and, TestComponent is the component name. The command to be given is then as follows:

  Code Block
  language text title Clone to different project
  --action cloneIssues --project "zjcli" --jql "project = zjiracli AND component = TestComponent" --autoComponent
