Use this interactive demo to learn how to duplicate an existing issue in Jira in seconds.

Quick summary

Cloning a Jira issue lets you instantly duplicate an existing task with its details, saving time when creating similar work items. Use the built-in Clone action to copy an issue and assign it to the right team member without starting from scratch.


Steps

  1. In your Jira space, find and open the specific issue you wish to clone.
  2. Click the Actions button in the top-right corner of the issue window.
  3. Choose Clone from the list of available options.
  4. Fill in the required fields — including Summary, Assignee, and Reporter — in the clone dialog.
  5. Click the Clone button to confirm and create the duplicate issue.
  6. Verify the success notification confirming the issue has been cloned and linked to the new task.

📌 Why this matters

Cloning issues in Jira eliminates repetitive manual work when teams need to create similar tasks across sprints or projects. This feature is essential for agile teams managing recurring workflows, bug templates, or standardized task structures. By duplicating an existing issue in a few clicks, teams maintain consistency in task details like assignee and reporter without risking data entry errors. Jira's Clone action speeds up project setup and keeps boards organized, making it a critical productivity tool for software development teams.
