What can Epic Clone be used for?

The app might be interesting for you especially if you have template epics you want to reuse. The cross-project clone functionality allows to set up template epics in a template project and copy them to productive projects whenever it is necessary.

Imagine you are working in a software development company and have some modules you need in every single software you write. For those modules the different stories may be similar for every project. It would save you a lot of work for creation and structuring of those issues if you would have them in a template epic which you can easily clone with all issues in one go whenever it is necessary. At the beginning of each project you could create the structure with epics and issues a lot faster. With epic clone you can copy the template epics and issues easily to your new project, assign them to the right persons and set the estimation values all in one action for each epic. Compared to the manual setup of a new project this will save you a lot of time and you can focus on the really important topics!
