Link between source and duplicated items

  • Enable: Establish a link similar to "clones / is cloned by" in Jira.

  • Dropdown: Choose the link type for duplicated items.

Internal links

  • Internal links connect two items within the search

  • Decide whether to recreate them (item 1 linked to item 2 results in copied item 1 linked to copied item 2)

Labels

Select labels to be set on all copied items

Modify Work Item Summaries

  • Find and Replace: Search and replace terms in child item summaries.

  • Prefix/Suffix: Add to summaries for customization.

Work Item Table

The work item table displays up to 50 items from your JQL. To see more, click the load more button at the table's bottom. Items appear in the correct hierarchy. For example, the JQL search returns MC-43, MC-44, MC-45, and MC-48. MC-44, MC-45, and MC-48 are child items under MC-43 and display accordingly.
