# Clone Issue

> Activity for cloning a Jira issue by creating a new issue based on the original, using the Jira Activities package

`UiPath.Jira.Activities.CloneIssue`

The **Clone Issue** activity uses a combination of Jira API calls to emulate the clone function found in the UI. It will create a new issue (**Issue**) based on the information of the original, and will output a (**New Issue**) object that can be used as an input variable in subsequent activities (e.g., **Issue** in [Update Issue](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/jira-update-issue)]).

## How it works

The following steps are an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the [Setup](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/jira-setup) steps.
2. Add the [Jira Scope](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/jira-scope) activity to your project.
3. Add the **Clone Issue** activity inside the **Jira Scope** activity.
4. Create and enter a `String` and an `Issue ID` variable for the Input properties.
5. Create and enter a `String` and a `Project Key` variable for the Input properties.
6. Create and enter a `Issue` and a `New Issue` variable for the output properties.

## Properties

### Common

* **Continue On Error** - This field only supports boolean values (True, False). The default value in this field is False. As a result, if this field is blank and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to True, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
* **DisplayName** - The display name of the activity. This field supports only strings or `String` variables.

### Input

* **Issue ID** - The Issue to clone. This field supports only strings or `String` variables.
* **Project Key** - The project key for the issue. This field supports only strings or `String` variables.

### Misc

* **Private** - If selected, the values of variables and arguments are no longer logged at Verbose level.

### Output

* **New Issue** - The newly created issue. Enter an `Issue` or `Issue` variable.
