      Atlassian Update – 3 September 2018

      Hi everyone,

      Thanks for your interest in this issue. This request is considered a potential addition to our longer-term roadmap. We'll typically review this request in about 12 months time, at which point we’ll consider whether we need to alter its status.

      Meanwhile, you may consider a commercial third party app Template (Epic) cloner for Jira, which may be useful in your context.

      For the nearest future we've decided to prioritize other areas of the Jira Server roadmap, including:

      In the recent Jira Server releases we have also shipped some highly-voted features and improvements, including:

      • Filters and dashboards collaborative editing
      • Selectable delimiters in CSV export 
      • Microsoft SQL Server 2016 support 
      • iPv6 support
      • Faster Kanban boards
      • Refreshed projects and custom fields management pages in the admin's section 

      We hope that you appreciate our candid and transparent communication. You can learn more about our approach to highly voted server suggestions here.

      To learn more on how you suggestions are reviewed, see our updated workflow for server feature suggestions.

      Kind regards,

      Katarzyna Derenda
      Product manager, Jira Server

      Issue

      In JIRA, when we clone a parent issues containing sub tasks, user are given the option to automatically clone the Sub Tasks as well. However in Agile(GreenHopper) when we clone an Epic, the linked Stories does not get cloned as well.

      Since the 'clone stories' option is not available at the current moment, users will have to clone the Epic and each of the linked stories manually, which can consume a lot of time.

      Suggestion

      Hence, it will be great if we can implement the option to clone an Epic along with it's linked sub tasks as well.

      Workaround

      One suggestion is to create an automation rule as described in the KB article below: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automationkb/automation-for-jira-writing-a-rule-that-clones-stories-linked-to-an-epic-when-the-epic-is-cloned-1235850506.html
