Why teams switch

Cloning Jira issues,
without the busywork.

Repetitive cloning kills momentum. Easy Clone keeps your hierarchies intact and your team focused on shipping - not on rebuilding tickets by hand.

Clone straight from the issue menu

Open the issue's three-dot menu, pick Easy Clone, choose a destination project. Done. No new tool to learn, no setup screens.

Familiar Jira UI

Built on Atlassian's design system, so it feels native - and your team doesn't need onboarding.

Cloud Fortified

Atlassian's highest reliability standard for Cloud apps. Audited security; no data retention.

No artificial limits

Clone an Epic with hundreds of children. Bulk-clone from JQL. Scale your operations as far as you need.

What gets cloned

Everything that matters. Nothing that doesn't.

Jira's built-in clone leaves attachments, sub-tasks, and links behind. Easy Clone copies them all - and lets you pick exactly what carries over.

  • Sub-tasks & child issues

    Full hierarchy: Epics, Stories, Tasks, Sub-tasks.

  • Attachments

    Every file on the source issue gets uploaded to the clone.

  • Comments

    Optional. Keep threading, mentions, or impersonate the original author.

  • Issue links

    "Relates to", "Is blocked by", "Duplicates"… all preserved.

  • Custom fields

    Including dropdowns, multi-selects, dates, and user pickers.

  • Components & labels

    Remapped automatically when cloning across projects.

  • Status

    Replicate the workflow state, or start fresh. Your call.

  • Assignee & reporter

    Override on the fly, or carry over from the source.

Try cloning an Epic.
Right here, right now.

Click through the actual product in your browser. See how a single Epic with its Stories and sub-tasks gets cloned across projects, fields and all - in under a minute.

How it works

From click to cloned tree in three steps.

  1. Easy Clone modal in Jira, pick a destination project, choose which sub-tasks, attachments and links to carry over
    1

    Pick the destination

    From any Jira issue, click Easy Clone. Pick the target project, write a summary, and toggle what should carry over - attachments, comments, status, links.

  2. Easy Clone for Jira, cross-project mapping wizard for work types, components and custom fields
    2

    Resolve cross-project differences

    Different projects, different schemas. Easy Clone walks you through mapping work types, components, custom fields - and reassigns users in bulk.

  3. Easy Clone completion view, cloned Jira hierarchy with every subtask linked to its new copy
    3

    Watch the hierarchy clone

    Sit back. Easy Clone copies the parent, its children, and their sub-tasks in the background - with real-time progress and direct links to every new issue.

What it does

Everything you'd expect.
Plus the things you wouldn't.

Across projects

Cross-project cloning, intelligently mapped.

Clone any issue between projects with different schemas. Easy Clone maps fields, components and custom values so nothing gets lost in translation.

  • Field mapping across project schemas
  • Components remap on the fly
  • Per-clone overrides for assignee, reporter, fields

Hierarchies stay intact.

Easy Clone copies children, sub-tasks and issue links along with the parent. Replicate complex trees without rebuilding them.

  • Onboarding v2 Epic
  • Email step Story
  • Pricing page Story
  • Copy review Sub-task
  • QA pass Sub-task
1 Epic · 2 Stories · 2 Sub-tasks cloned in one action - links preserved.

Clone from Search / JQL

Filter your issues once. Clone them all in a single action, straight from Jira's native Issue Navigator.

Bulk-clone Jira issues from JQL, entire result set cloned in one background job

Pick exactly what carries over

Reassign, remap components, override fields, skip what you don't need. Per-clone overrides for every team's workflow.

Replicate the same initiative across teams.

One JQL filter, multiple destination projects. Each team gets their own copy with the right components and custom fields mapped to their workflow.

Native clone vs Easy Clone

Why Easy Clone, and not Jira's built-in Clone?

Jira's built-in clone has come a long way. You can now toggle attachments, links and direct child work items. Where it still falls short: recursion deeper than one level, comments, status replication, cross-project schema mapping, and bulk operations from JQL.

Capability
Native Jira clone
Easy Clone
Recursive hierarchy
One level only (Epic → Stories, then stops)
Recursive across every level, no depth limit
Comments & work logs
Not copied
Optional, with mention & impersonation controls
Across different projects
Same schema required; mismatched fields drop silently
Guided mapping for issue types, components & field values
Bulk from JQL
One issue at a time
Entire result set in a single background job

Cloning an Epic with nested sub-tasks, across projects? Native can't.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Easy Clone copy sub-tasks and child issues when I clone an Epic?
Yes. Easy Clone duplicates the entire hierarchy: Epic → Stories → Tasks → Sub-tasks. You can opt out of children with a single toggle if you only want the parent issue.

Can I clone Jira issues across projects with different schemas?
Yes. Easy Clone detects schema differences between the source and destination project and walks you through mapping issue types, components, priorities, and custom-field values before the clone runs.

Will my attachments, comments and issue links get cloned too?
Attachments and issue links are cloned across the full hierarchy, not just the parent issue. Comments are optional, with controls to keep the original threading, preserve mentions, or impersonate the original author so the clone reads like the original conversation.

How is Easy Clone different from Jira's built-in "Clone" action?
Native Jira clone now toggles attachments, issue links and direct child work items, but it still doesn't recurse deeper than one level, doesn't carry over comments or status, and breaks across projects with different schemas. Easy Clone walks the full hierarchy, maps schema differences, and supports bulk cloning from JQL. See the full native Jira clone vs Easy Clone comparison.

Can I bulk-clone many Jira issues at once?
Yes. From Jira's Issue Navigator, run any JQL query and click Bulk Clone. Easy Clone will duplicate every matching issue (and their children) into the project you choose, in a single background job.

Is Easy Clone safe? Where is my data processed?
Easy Clone is Atlassian Cloud Fortified, the highest reliability and security tier for Cloud apps. The cloning job runs on our backend in the EU (DigitalOcean, Frankfurt). We only read what we need from Jira to perform the clone, we do not retain your issue data once the job finishes, and we are GDPR-aware.

How much does Easy Clone cost?
Easy Clone follows the standard Atlassian Marketplace pricing model, with a free tier for small teams and a 30-day free trial on paid plans. No credit card is required to start the trial.

Does Easy Clone support both Cloud and Server / Data Center?
Easy Clone is built exclusively for Jira Cloud. We support both Company-managed and Team-managed projects, on every Cloud plan.
