Bulk Clone - Cloud

This is the documentation for Clone Plus for Jira Cloud. If you are using Clone Plus for Jira Sever/Data Center, refer to the Bulk Clone - Server page.

This page provides details of the Bulk Clone feature where you can clone multiple issues from multiple projects at once. You can select these issues to be cloned using Jira JQL basic or advanced search. You can also perform bulk cloning on saved Jira filters.

  • The bulk clone operation is applied to a maximum of 1000 issues in a project. If a project has more than 1000 issues, the remaining issues are ignored and are not cloned.

  • The Bulk Clone (Clone Plus for Jira) button is available only when you access issues from the Filters dropdown in the top navigation bar. This button is unavailable when you access issues from the Projects dropdown in the top navigation bar.

  • Do not close your browser or let your computer go into sleep mode once the bulk clone operation starts. This is to ensure that the bulk clone does not terminate prematurely. You can still work on other tabs of your browser to allow the bulk clone operation continue in the background.
