Summary

One of the major benefits of the Clone Plus for Jira is the ability to customize clone operations to suit your development process. This capability has been provided since the initial version of the plugin. Now, we have made it possible to provide very sophisticated customization capabilities without programming. It still requires a clear understanding of your JIRA system and processes, but, the implementation can be done via a property-based configuration with average Jira administration knowledge and some careful testing. If you need more extensive customization than what is currently provided, raise a support request with our support team.

Bulk Clone

Clone multiple issues at once to the same project or different project 

The bulk clone feature is available for Data Center only. 

Bulk cloning is a memory-intensive operation.

  • Ensure that the instance’s memory supports heavy usage when multiple users perform bulk clones. Refer to the troubleshoot issues page

  • It is recommended to allow certain roles and/or groups are permitted to use the bulk clone feature to avoid any potential issues.

Getting started

Getting started with customization is the best place to start.
