Clone a project along with issues to another site

Objective:

This document provides a step-by-step guide to cloning a company-managed project along with its issues from one site to another. It covers the necessary pre-requisites and how to perform a successful project clone while ensuring all associated configurations are cloned.

Pre-requisites:

• Two Atlassian sites: The first site is referred to as https://site-1.atlassian.net and the second as https://site-2.atlassian.net. Learn how to create an Atlassian site

• The Revyz app must be installed on both newly created Atlassian sites (https://site-1.atlassian.net and https://site-2.atlassian.net). Learn how to install the Revyz app

• Cross-site connection between the two sites in the Revyz app, which allows cloning from one site to the other. Learn how to configure a cross-site connection

Before Clone:

• On the first Atlassian site (https://site-1.atlassian.net), create a company-managed project with issues. For reference, let’s call this project “Project1.” Learn how to create a company-managed project

• Take a fresh backup of Jira issues and configurations on both sites (https://site-1.atlassian.net and https://site-2.atlassian.net) before cloning the project. Learn how to trigger a backup

Clone project to a cross-site:

Follow these steps:

• Go to the Atlassian site (https://site-1.atlassian.net) that contains the company-managed project (referred to here as “Project1”).

• Navigate to Apps → Revyz Data Manager for Jira app → Clone & Restore.

• Select the “Project restore with issues” card.

• Source Site Details:

  • Source site: The site that has the project to be cloned, in this case, https://site-1.atlassian.net

  • Configuration snapshot: Choose the latest snapshot, which includes the project you want to clone.

• Destination Site Details:

  • Destination site: The site where you want to clone the project, in this case, https://site-2.atlassian.net

  • Configuration snapshot: Select the latest snapshot.

• Click on Show projects.

• Select the project you want to clone, which is "Project1"

• The New key, New name, Project lead, and Default assignee will be auto-populated.

  • If the auto-populated key or name already exists on the second Atlassian site (https://site-2.atlassian.net), modify the New key or New name.

• Toggle the "Restore issues" option to clone the issues along with the project.

• Click on Review dependencies. The app will automatically calculate and display the configurations related to the project, which are referred to as dependencies.

• Review the dependencies and click on View summary.

• Review the clone summary and click on Clone.

• (Optional) Add job notes for future reference.

• Enter the CAPTCHA in the command prompt and click Clone.

• You’ll be redirected to the Jobs tab in the Revyz app.
