Use Case
This workflow is designed to help users make copies of existing issues so they can quickly track activities that are performed on a regular basis. These are written as action rules, so users can perform this operation on the fly, as required.
The rules that belong to this workflow serve different purposes:
The Clone issue rule creates issues in a reported state. This means that notification events are triggered as soon as the clone is created. If you need to make any changes to an issue that is created as a clone with this operation, users may receive a second round of notifications.
The Clone issue as draft rule creates issue drafts. Notification events are only triggered when you have finished editing the draft and report the issue.
