Automation basics
Understand the general concepts and best practices of automation in Atlassian cloud products.
Save time creating the same issue multiple times with automated cloning. Cloning creates a duplicate of an issue, copying over most of the information.
Only Jira and project admins can configure automation rules.
When you transition the issue to any status in a done status category, we’ll automatically clone the issue to the same project.
Once the new issue is cloned and created, it inherits the automation rule which will be turned on automatically. This means if you move this new issue to any done status, the issue will be cloned.
All fields will be copied to the newly cloned issue, except for: Attachments, start date, due date, links and child issues.
Open the issue you want to duplicate automatically.
Select Actions to open the automations menu.
Locate the rule Clone when issue is done.
Select the switch to turn it on.
Open the issue that is duplicating automatically.
Select Actions to open the automations menu.
Locate the rule Clone when issue is done.
Select the switch to turn it off.
Alternatively, you can do this by:
From within your project, select Project settings > Automation.
Select Rules to view a list of all your created automation rules.
Disable the rule.
