Cloning, or copying, an issue that allows you for rapidly making a copy of an issue inside a similar project. The clone issue is a mirror image of the original issue, containing a similar data put away in the original issue — e.g. Summary, Affects Versions, Components, and so on. The clone issue can likewise be connected to the original issue.
A clone issue is a different element from the original issue. Tasks on the first issue have no impact on the clone issue and the other way around. The main connection is a link – if made – between the original issue and the clone issue.
