      Issue Summary

      This is reproducible on Data Center: (yes)

      When we export an automation rule and subsequently import it on the same instance with a duplicate name, as per the functionality application should rename the automation rule with "Copy of " in the prefix. However, it fails to do so.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Export the Automation Rule
      2. Now, import the rule to the same instance with the same name.
      3. While Importing the rule we get the below message "Please note that if a rule with the same name already exists, then the imported rule will be renamed to 'Copy of ...'." 
      4. The imported rule is not renamed, and it retains its original name.
      5. However, the second time you import the same rule, it renames it with a copy of.

      Note: This scenario occurs when the rule is exported and imported on the same jira instance. This issue is replicated on Jira versions 8.20, 8.22.6, 9.3.3, 9.4.0, 9.4.18, 9.5.0  and 9.12.5

      Expected Results

      Imported rule with the duplicate name should be renamed to "Copy of".

      Actual Results

      When the duplicate rule name is imported, the name remains unchanged.

      Workaround

      Currently, there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
