Use case: When ever an issue is resovled for a certain fix-for version, I need to create a clone for the porting work in another fix-for version.

Is there a better way?

Hi Eric,

Having a separate issue for a seperate piece of work, such that it can be assigned by a different individual and have a separate fix for version is a good idea. Out of the box, JIRA does not provide a way to clone issues automatically, it has to be done manually. I believe a larger feature request for this is JRA-7948.

For more information on the way new feature and improvement requests are scheduled please see:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEV/Implementation+of+New+Features+and+Improvements

Workflow post functions are plugins in JIRA, so an extension to JIRA can be developed. For more information on writing custom post functions please see:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/How+to+create+Custom+Workflow+Elements+for+JIRA+3

It appears that some of the leg work for this has been done by another JIRA user:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAEXT/JIRA+Clone+and+Move+Plugin
and released to the community. However, I believe it currently does not work for JIRA 3.12.x. As far as I can tell to make the contributed code work as part of a worklow, more code needs to be written to leverage what's there as a post function.

Cheers,
Anton

Thanks, Anton. I searched and couldn't find that issue. One thing I didn't see specifically captured in JRA-7948 is that , for my use case, I don't want to clone to a new project. I want to clone to the same project but with a different fix-for version. Feel free to resolve/dup if you think it's all captured there. I think, as you said though, since this is smaller and still fulfills several use cases, you might want to consider leaving it stand-alone.

I did see http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAEXT/JIRA+Clone+and+Move+Plugin but couldn't really figure out what it would take to get what I need
