When cloning an issue we expect for all the data to be carried across, however forms and the data saved in the form is lost during this action.

We would like for Forms to be cloned along with the issue clone.

Currently this is a product limitation Troubleshooting cloning and copying forms: 

Cloned issues do not include forms

Cloning does not copy the issue entity properties (where ProForma form data lives). Because of this, cloned issues will not inherit forms from the original issue.

There are a number of workarounds for this limitation.

• If you are using Jira Data Center and wish to copy form to another issue, we recommend using Automation for Jira.

• Rather than cloning the issue, change the issue type or request type. This allows for bulk changes of issues. The limitation of this method is that it is not valid if the issue needs to be cloned to a new project.

• Save ProForma form data to Jira fields. Clone the Jira issue, and manually add the same form as the previous issue. Because all the Jira field data will clone as expected, ProForma fields which are linked to those Jira fields will automatically populate.

• Clone the issue, and then hand-copy form data from one issue to another.
