Clone modified configurations across sites
About this Page
This document aims to guide you through the process of using the Revyz app to clone configuration changes from one site to another. Instead of manually replicating modifications, the Revyz app allows you to efficiently clone updated configurations between sites.
Create a configuration (screen) on both Atlassian sites—https://site-1.atlassian.net and https://site-2.atlassian.net—with the same name.
For clarity, let’s name the screen “Demo screen”.
Add the following fields to the Demo screen:
Summary
Description
Reporter
Repeat the same steps on the second Atlassian site to ensure both screens are identical.
Next, take a fresh backup (Backup type: Jira Configurations) on both sites: https://site-1.atlassian.net and https://site-2.atlassian.net. Learn how to trigger a backup
Important: Proceed only after the backup job completes successfully.
Modify the Demo screen configuration on https://site-1.atlassian.net by adding a new field—for example, the Assignee field.
Later, take another backup (Backup type: Jira Configurations) on https://site-1.atlassian.net.
Go to the first Atlassian site (https://site-1.atlassian.net).
Navigate to Apps → Revyz Data Manager for Jira app → Core Administration → Clone Configuration.
Select the "Clone Jira configurations" card.
Source Site Details:
Source site: The site containing the updated configuration (https://site-1.atlassian.net).
Configuration snapshot: Select the most recent snapshot that includes the modified screen.
Destination Site Details:
Destination site: The target site where the modified screen will be cloned (https://site-2.atlassian.net).
Configuration snapshot: Select the latest snapshot.
You’ll see either “Map configurations” or “Compare snapshots” button.
Map configurations: If there are configurations with the same name on, the app will flag them and display auto-mapped configurations.
Review the auto-mapped configurations, then click “Compare snapshots”.
Configuration listing page
Locate the Screens section and expand it.
Locate “Demo screen” in the list. Its status will appear as “Modified”, indicating differences between the version on the source site and the one on the destination site. Select this screen to proceed.
Click “Review dependencies”.
On the Dependencies page, you’ll see configurations linked to the screen.
Since the fields (Summary, Description, Reporter, and Assignee) are associated to the screen, they will appear under dependencies.
Change the object status filter to include “No change”.
As these fields are already present and identical on both sites, their status will show as “No change”.
Click “View summary”.
Summary page
Review the summary and click “Clone”.
(Optional) Add job notes to document the purpose of the job for future reference.
