Using the power scripts app , you can create issue template automations and solve this use case. You can bulk copy projects, issues, attachments and even create a template of issues to launch and reuse quickly. (more info)

We have jusst launched a new plugin for this, compatible from 6.3.6
Check and evalutate on: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.lbcg.jira.plugin.pro.BulkClonePro

I am also using the Zephyr for Jira plugin, and go through a similar process for Test Case Management. Cloning and moving test cases to a standard repository for future use (before archiving a project) is currently a very painful and manual process. A bulk clone feature would remedy this pain. It would also likely benefit other workflows such as potentially creating a standard set of tasks/sub-tasks, that could be cloned and applied component of work at any time during planning.

We would find this feature very useful for our test team. We are using Zephyr and our work involves a pattern of very similar projects and test cycles. What we would like to do is to have standard test cases defined and held in the system (e.g. in a dummy Test Repository project) and then be able to find and filter them based on component, label or some such and then apply a bulk operation to clone them into the project where they are required. Having a "clone into other project" option under the bulk operations list would be exactly what we need for this.

BulkClone plug-in doesn't meet our requirement as it depends on a filter and not a custom selected issue list. It is not always possible to create a filter to select the issues we want to clone

Well,
You could always try out this free plugin: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.lbcg.jira.plugins.bulkclone.BulkClone

Can anyone please comment on when "Bulk Clone" functionality is scheduled to be made available in JIRA? We are using JIRA version 6.0.3 and I don't see any mechanism to bulk clone JIRA issues and change only a field or two. I was hoping in Bulk Operations, just like Bulk Edit, Bulk Assign etc., Bulk Clone will be available too but did not find it

As a workaround, JIRA CLI will do this for download provided you have the Clone Plus Plugin installed - this is what allows you to change project and/or update fields other than the summary field.

--action cloneIssues --toProject "XYZ"  --description "Bulk clone example"  --search 'project = ABC and summary ~ "xyz-*"  '

For OnDemand, you can only clone to the same project and change the summary using the same technique. Since you can't install the plugin for OnDemand, you have to settle for the limited support available with the built-in clone action.

Agree - need the ability to clone in bulk in either Jira Core or OnDemand, please!
