If there is a group of issue types you have to carry out for each new Version again, it's not possible to duplicate these issues with a new status for the new Version.

Volker,

Could you elaborate on what you're after? Does the 'Clone' functionality
help?

We a have lot of issues wich are reiterate in every new version of a softwareproject. ( examples: create installation disk, verify the documentation, make a testinstallation on Windows XP, test component XY.... )
Now, it's possible to clone only one issue in Jira.
The handling would be faster and easier, if it's possible to clone a bulk of issues with changing the status and the version.

Right, I see what you mean.

Incidentally, Confluence has a nice 'task list' macro for this:

Jeff, the confluence task list doesn't help much because you lose all the features that Jira provides:

assigning people to tasks
setting due dates
setting estimated time
showing "my tasks" in the assignee's dashboard
...

Lars,

I agree, Confluence does not address the problem 100%. Unfortunately, due to the large number of feature requests, we will not be able to address this for JIRA 3.6.

Adding 'Clone' as a bulk operation would be a great timesaver for us, I'm surprised it's not a slightly more popular issue. If anyone has figured out a workaround, I'd love to hear about that as well.

Starting to use Jira more and more for documenting regression testing this feature would be very helpfull.

Us too, we need a bulk copy, better a bulk clone, operation, as a versioning system (but without using one) does, to "branch" a package (version) or a subset of issues.

We need this, too. As we use JIRA to handle our test cases we'd like to have some template test case issues and clone them periodically to the current version.

Having this ability will help our use of JIRA and having a Test Case Database project. We would use this for publishing test case issues into projects and sprints.

I need bulk cloning for test case management in Jira too.
