JIRA-ISSUE-CLONE(7)

💅 jira-issue-clone(7) — the Jira CLI glow-up manual

okay so bestie, welcome to the jira-issue-clone page of the Jira CLI manual (that's section 7, iykyk). Sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

jira-issue-clone — clone duplicates an issue 🫶

Like, it makes a copy. A twin. A duplicate. Slay.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

jira issue clone ISSUE-KEY [flags]

That's the whole shape of it — you hand it an ISSUE-KEY, you optionally hand it some [flags], and it does its thing. Iconic behaviour, honestly.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the vibe: this command duplicates an issue 💖 and it also lets you override some of the metadata while it's doing that. So you're not just copy-pasting the whole thing unchanged — you get to tweak the details as it clones. The way that works is genuinely so useful, no cap.

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -P, --parent="" — the parent issue key 👑 (defaults to empty, "")
• -s, --summary="" — the issue summary, aka the title 🏷️ (default "")
• -y, --priority="" — the issue priority ⚡ (default "")
• -a, --assignee="" — who gets assigned, as an email or a display name 🙋‍♀️ (default "")
• -l, --label=[] — the issue labels 🏷️🏷️ (list, defaults to empty [])
• -C, --component=[] — the issue components 🧩 (list, defaults to empty [])
• -H, --replace=[] — replace strings in the summary and body. The format is :, like "find me:replace with me" 🔁 — literally find, colon, replace, that's it. (list, defaults to empty [])
• --web[=false] — open it in the web browser after a successful clone 🌐 (defaults to false)
• -h, --help[=false] — help for clone 😭 the classic (defaults to false)

---

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

These ones aren't from clone itself, they come down from the parent commands — still yours to use tho 💜

• -c, --config="" — config file. Default is /homeless-shelter/.config/.jira/.config.yml, and it can be overridden with the JIRA_CONFIG_FILE env var ⭐
• --debug[=false] — turn on debug output 🐛 (defaults to false)
• -p, --project="" — which Jira project to look into. It defaults to /homeless-shelter/.config/.jira/.config.yml 📁

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

Bestie, examples are the moment. Here we go:

$ jira issue clone ISSUE-1

Just a plain clone. Simple. Beautiful. Ate. 💅

# Clone issue and modify the summary, priority and assignee
$ jira issue clone ISSUE-1 -s"Modified summary" -yHigh -a$(jira me)

Look at that — new summary, priority bumped to High, and assignee set to whatever jira me gives you. Main character energy 🔥

# Clone issue and replace text from summary and description
$ jira issue clone ISSUE-1 -H"find me:replace with me"

The -H flag doing its find-and-replace thing across the summary and description. Obsessed. 🦋
