Clone with Jira
To clone an issue with a checklist, select Clone from the … menu.
Cloning checklists for cloned issues works out of the box. Statuses of cloned checklist items are set to unchecked/open.
Note that cloned checklists take precedence over default checklists and Checklist Text field content. For issues cloned with a non-empty checklist, neither the default template nor the checklist from the Checklist Text custom field will be applied.
Clone with Automation
If you are cloning an issue with a checklist in an automation rule:
Ensure the Save checklist data to Jira custom fields global setting is enabled.
Ensure the Checklist Text field is included on the Create issue screen.
