The 'Bulk Copy' feature is available from JSU 2.0 |
Description
You can copy a set of issues (the current result of an issue filter) into a certain JIRA project.
Step by Step
Prepare a JIRA Filter
Use JIRA's search dialog (issue navigator) to create a filter of the issues you want to copy.
See also Atlassian's documentation.
Choose the target project
You need the permission 'Administer Projects' in the target project.
In the project administration (top right, under actions) you will find the bulk copy functionality.
Fine tune, what will be copied
In the next screen you have a few options, what exactly will be copied:
...
Click Bulk Copy Issues to start the copy process. You will see a progress bar to track it.
What will happen with issue links between issues?
- If both issues which are linked, had been part of your search filter (TF-1 → TF-2) , the corresponding issue link will be created between the copies (XY-1 → XY-2).
- If there is an issue link pointing to an issue outside of your search filter (TF-1 → TF-3), the issue link from the copied issue will point to the same issue (XY-1 → TF-3).
In what order will the issues be created?
This affects the issue keys.
Principally the new issues will be created in the same order as in the result of your search filter. However sub-tasks will always be created immediately after their parent.
I do not want to allow all my project administrators to perform bulk copy
Remember, that you need the permission 'Administer Projects' in the target project to perform bulk copy.
...
If the group bulkcopy-users does not exist, anybody is allowed to perform bulk copy in the projects he has the permission 'Administer Projects'.
