Clone a Test Case when you need an independent copy that you can change without editing the original. If you want to use the same case in another folder or work item, link the existing case instead.
Before you begin
You need access to the source case and permission to clone Test Cases. Check the source context and review the new case after cloning, especially if you work with multiple versions or destination spaces.
Choose what to copy
Open the Test Case and select the more options button (three dots). You can also use its row menu in the Test Case list.
Select Clone Test Case.
Review the new headline and the properties to include.
Select Next to choose the destination.
Type is included. Other options include description, precondition, priority, components, labels, assignee, owner, linked work items, linked Test Folders, attachments, test script, and Test Data Collection. Review the checkboxes rather than assuming everything is copied.
The screenshot below shows the copy-options step in an earlier layout; the current dialog includes additional options.
Choose the destination and clone
Use the destination selector to choose a Jira space you can access.
Select the destination in the folder tree. Check the folder’s full location before proceeding.
For a single case, select Clone & Edit if you want to open the copy immediately after creation.
Select Clone and wait for the operation to finish.
Open the new Test Case using the key returned in the results. Review its script, properties, and links.
The current dialog selects one destination Jira space at a time. Repeat the process if you need a separate copy in another space.
This earlier results screenshot illustrates the links to newly created cases.
Check the new case
The copy has its own Test Case key, such as DEMO-C47. Future edits to the copy are separate from the original.
Review inherited folder and work item links, particularly when cloning between Jira spaces.
Do not use cloning to carry over execution history. Run the new case in its intended context to record its own results.
If an error appears or the operation is interrupted, check for an already-created copy before trying again.
For multiple cases, see bulk clone Test Cases. To reuse one case without copying it, see manage linked Test Folders.
