The Jira configurations clone feature allows you to clone selected Jira configurations from a source site to a new destination site or back to the current site (self site). This process begins by selecting the backup snapshot you wish to use as the source.
How to clone Jira configurations with Revyz App?
Step 1: Source Site details
On the Configuration Management screen, click the Clone Jira configuration tile.
Note: This option is described as allowing you to "Replicate your core Jira configurations like workflows, custom fields, and permission schemes to another instance".
