Bulk Clone

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

  • This feature is currently supported in Data Center only.

  • Bulk cloning is a memory-intensive operation. Contact your Jira administrator to know if the memory usage of the instance supports and you are permitted to bulk clone. For more details, refer to the troubleshoot issues page.

  • Parallel bulk cloning is not supported, that is, the same Jira user is not permitted to perform bulk cloning in multiple tabs across multiple browsers and/or nodes.
