> ℹ️ This is the documentation for Clone Plus for Jira Data Center. If you are using Clone Plus for Jira Cloud, refer to the[ Single clone - Cloud ](https://appfire.atlassian.net/l/cp/rk0RsjyA)page.

This page provides the details of clone operations for cloning an issue with all the required issue field settings while cloning.

The enhanced clone operations provided by this app are available on the **More** menu when viewing an issue. A default install will add **Clone+** and **Clone++** clone operations. However, your administrator may have customized your installation to select what clone operations are available for specific projects including how they are named and behave. The difference between **Clone**+ and **Clone++** is the latter allows you to change the project and issue type of the clone. Both allow you to change other fields before the clone is created.

You will see the user interface similar to creating issues with some additional options for controlling the clone operation.

**Target selection**

When you use the **Clone++** clone operation to clone an issue you can select the target project and issue type in the following dialog:

The following are various scenarios for displaying a specific **Target issue type** in addition to the configuration by your administrators:

- When the original issue type exists in the target project, it is displayed.
- When the original issue type does not exist in the target project, the default issue type of the target project is displayed.
- When the original issue type does not exist in the target project and default issue type is not configured in the target project, one of the available issue types from the target project is displayed.

# Steps

1. Select a issue you want to clone in your Jira instance.
2. In the top of the issue, click **More** > **Clone+**.
3. On the *Clone *page, select values for all the fields as required.
4. Click **Create**.  
The issue is cloned as configured and displayed.
