How to Clone an Epic in Jira

Use this interactive demo to learn how to duplicate an existing epic in your Jira project.

Quick summary

Cloning an epic in Jira lets teams quickly duplicate a fully configured epic without rebuilding it from scratch. Using the built-in Clone action, you can copy an epic's details, assignee, and linked items in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. In the list view of your Jira space, find and select the epic you want to edit.
  2. Click Actions in the top-right corner of the epic.
  3. Choose Clone from the list of available options.
  4. Fill in all necessary information, including Summary, Assignee, and Reporter.
  5. Tick the checkboxes beside the items you wish to include in the cloned epic.
  6. Click the Clone button to proceed and create the duplicate.
  7. Confirm the cloned epic now appears in your Jira space according to your configuration.

📌 Why this matters

Cloning an epic in Jira eliminates repetitive setup work for recurring or similar project structures, saving teams significant planning time. Instead of manually recreating epics with the same fields, assignees, and child items, teams can duplicate an existing epic in seconds. This feature is especially valuable for agile teams running repeated sprint cycles, product launches, or templated workflows in Jira. Faster epic creation means less administrative overhead and more time focused on actual delivery.
