DEEP CLONE FOR JIRA

Clone and standardize Jira at scale — without the rework or the risk.

Copy projects, epics and larger hierarchies. Template what works. Migrate with nothing left behind.

The work that repeats is the work that breaks.

Every team has structures that work. The project setup that launches clean. The epic breakdown QA can follow. The intake that never loses a ticket.

But as Jira scales, those structures get harder to reproduce cleanly. Recurring work gets rebuilt a little differently each time. Handovers lose context. Migrations and reorganizations depend on manual effort and brittle workarounds.

The result is more admin work, more inconsistency, and more chances for a proven process to drift.

Deep Clone makes structured work reproducible. Clone it, move it, run it again — with the structure and context intact, and the same boring result every time.

One cloning backbone. Built for scale and reliability.

BUILT FOR ENTERPRISE SCALE

Bulk clone up to 100,000 work items in one job.

Run large, complex clones in the background — with progress tracking, clear warnings and a complete clone history you can verify.

Large-scale cloning without breaking a sweat.

  • Up to 100,000 work items per run
  • Whole projects: configuration, components, versions, boards
  • Comments, attachments and supported related data come along
  • Full clone history and logs

“Over 40,000 bugs [...] the cloning went off without a hitch.”

Run your validated process every time

Copy projects. Build reusable templates.

Your best setups shouldn't be one-offs. Template them. Then anyone can run them.

Presets lock in the right clone settings, so the tenth copy comes out like the first. No admin in the loop.

  • Copy project templates with configuration included
  • Recurring epics and work items: on demand or on a workflow trigger
  • Presets: predefined settings, self-service results
  • A fully configured project in under 3 minutes

“I use Deep Clone for an implementation template (over 200 tasks and 10 epics) […] I can now belt out plans for customers in under a minute.”

Stephen Mellert

One backbone, many jobs

Not a utility. An operational backbone.

Escalations, project templating, migrations and more. Deep Clone can be built into the way Jira operates — reproducing, moving and transforming structured work without rebuilding the process each time. So teams move faster and more consistently. Hours stop disappearing into copy-paste. And hardened processes stay rock-steady.

  • Presets: standardize clone settings so proven setups can be repeated consistently
  • Automation: trigger clones from workflow post-functions or Jira Automation — discipline that runs itself
  • Field updates: change and remap values as work moves to its destination
  • Cross-project and cross-instance: use the same cloning engine wherever structured work needs to move

“I've been using Deep Clone for a few years now and it's quietly become one of those tools I rely on without thinking twice. It handles a lot and it handles it well.”

One app. Limitless applications.

JIRA ADMINS · CONSULTANTS

Migrate & consolidate instances

Mergers, spin-offs, cloud-to-cloud moves. Selective migration at volume, data intact, everything logged. When Atlassian consolidated Service Management projects across two of its own Cloud instances — in under a day — this is the app the team used.

OPERATIONS · PMOS · AGENCIES

Standardize recurring projects

Client kickoffs, release checklists, campaign launches, compliance procedures. Keep one validated template project and clone it — structure, hierarchy, configuration intact — every time the work repeats. No automation chains to maintain. No steps missed.

See the template docs →

SUPPORT · ITSM TEAMS

Escalate work across teams

Hand tickets from JSM to the team where the work happens — comments, context and required fields along for the ride. Presets keep handovers consistent; post-functions make them automatic. Customers report up to 80% less time spent on ticket handovers.

HR · Growing teams

Onboard without missing a step

Clone the onboarding template per hire, customer or vendor — accounts, equipment, training, access. The tenth onboarding runs exactly like the first.

DEV· QA TEAMS

Test changes on real structures

Clone a project, break the copy, not the original. Trial new configurations, workflows or space types on a faithful clone before touching production.

AGENCIES · PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

A project per client, in minutes

One master implementation project, cloned per engagement. Consistent delivery structure, faster starts, and setup measured in minutes, not hours.

The app Atlassian trusts for its own cloning

When Atlassian consolidated its own Jira Service Management projects — two Cloud instances into one — the company ran the migration on Deep Clone.

“Deep Clone did 80 percent of the heavy lifting during the migration. The entire process was completed over the weekend without any rollbacks. It worked on the first try.”

Sean Yong · Marketplace Systems Architect, Atlassian

12K+ installs · 11M+ work items cloned in 2025 · 20,000+ customers across the codefortynine portfolio

“I was able to clone a Jira Cloud project with ~15K issues so that I could test the implications of changing its workflow and issue scheme.”

Jeff Cadow

“Now we spend minutes on new project setup, not hours.”

Irina Korik

“We use Deep Clone to move tickets/bugs from our Jira Service Desk to our engineering teams’ Jira Software projects, and it’s super simple to use!”

Before you clone

How do I clone a Jira project with all its work items?

Native Jira can't copy a project. Deep Clone's Project Clone copies configuration, components, versions and boards along with every work item — hierarchy, comments and attachments included.

Can I create reusable project templates in Jira?

Yes. Keep a validated project as your template and clone it — configuration included — whenever new work starts. Presets lock the settings so every copy comes out the same, no admin rights needed.

Can Deep Clone handle recurring tasks?

Yes. Clone recurring work items and epics on demand, or trigger clones automatically with a Jira Automation Action or a workflow post-function — significantly reduce the length of automation chains.

How do I migrate work items between Jira Cloud instances?
Connect the target instance, choose what to move, and Deep Clone migrates work items, hierarchies or whole projects between clouds — remapping field values in transit, with logs to verify the result.
How much can Deep Clone copy at once?
Up to 100,000 work items in a single job, running in the background with progress tracking — bulk operations don't block anyone's work.
What data comes along with a clone?
Broad coverage: descriptions, custom fields, comments, attachments, forms, checklists, links and other supported data — with control over exactly what each clone includes.
Does Deep Clone support Jira Data Center?
No — Deep Clone is built for Jira Cloud and runs on Cloud only, including Atlassian Government Cloud.
Can Deep Clone migrate Jira Data Center to Jira Cloud?
No. Deep Clone migrates within and between Jira Cloud instances. For a Data Center-to-Cloud move, use Atlassian's migration tooling — then use Deep Clone for Cloud-to-Cloud consolidation and restructuring once you're there.
Does Deep Clone keep cloned work synchronized?
No — by design. Deep Clone clones and moves structured work; it doesn't maintain a live, continuous sync between copies. If you need ongoing two-way synchronization, that's a different job than reproducing structure.

Get the structure right once. Run it everywhere.
