ParameterDescriptionRemarks
copyIssuesIf true, issues are copied, too.

Issues are copied with attachments and with sub-tasks, but without

  • comments
  • work logs.

Issues will be created in status "Open". The original status will be ignored.

To copy issues, you have to copy components and versions, too!

The API user nee ds the the global "JIRA Administrator" permission to create/copy projects. There might be other permissions required (e.g. create issue). If certain permissions are missing (e.g. create issues), the project might be created/copied, but e.g. the issues are not copied.

The following elements/relations of a JIRA project are always copied and can't be configured:

  • Project description and avatar, if applicable
  • Permission Scheme
  • Notification Scheme
  • Issue Type Scheme
  • Workflow Scheme
  • Screen Scheme
  • Field Configuration Scheme
  • Role Configuration

If you need any other kind of data/operations related to JIRA issues, use the JIRA REST API (https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/).
