> ℹ️ This feature was working but Atlassian seems to have updated and broken the parsing of space permissions. We are working on a fix for this issue, but the workaround of deselecting *Copy space permissions* option does work. Please see issue [https://appfire.atlassian.net/browse/CSOD-58](https://appfire.atlassian.net/browse/CSOD-58) for up-to-date information.
