# New features

## Clone the issue types above the epic level in the issue type hierarchy 

In Jira’s issue type hierarchy, you can now clone the issue types above the epic level, such as goal, theme, feature, capability, and initiative. Along with these issue types, you can clone the entire issue tree, maintaining the same parent-child relationship.

For example, [Clone an initiative and its issues](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/x/sYJ9bg?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiM2JkMzg3MzkxYWNmNGVhMzlkMTg5NjYyMWJkMGZmMTEiLCJwIjoiYyJ9).
