You can make use of automation and branch for all existing tasks, copy all the existing tasks to new project.

Hope this helps !

This is how you can achieve it,

![task 1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/320046iDFE863291D90FFAA/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "task 1.png")

![task 2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/320049i844157812DBEC774/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "task 2.png")Instead of same project, select the intended project and rest all will remain same.

Hope this helps!!

I simply created projects, tasks

just basic things

You need learn JIRA automations and they are simple to learn.

Hope this helps and happy learning!!

If using a third-party application is an option for you, I can suggest trying our [Elements Copy \& Sync](https://go.elements-apps.com/cs_3005_3) app that allows you to copy issues with all their content (summary, description, custom fields, comments, attachments, etc.) and their child issues.

You'll be able to easily [copy all the tasks into a new project](https://go.elements-apps.com/cs_3005_4).

Don't hesitate to try our app, it's free during 30 days and stays free under 10 users.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Clara

If you are willing to try a third-party app, you could try our app [Deep Clone for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218652?utm_source=atlassian&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=deepj-new-reach-com-2679355). The app allows you to bulk clone issues and move them between projects. You can clone multiple issues at once, including their sub-tasks, linked issues, and even attachments and comments. This could be a particularly powerful tool if you frequently need to replicate project tasks in Jira Work Management.

Here's how you could use Deep Clone for Jira to [Bulk Clone](https://documentation.codefortynine.com/deep-clone-for-jira/bulk-clone?utm_source=atlassian&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=deepj-new-reach-com-2679355):

1. **Install the App:** First, install Deep Clone for Jira from the Atlassian Marketplace.
2. **Select the Issues to Clone:** Use the issue search (or select the project) to find the tasks you want to clone. You can perform a JQL search to select all tasks in a specific project.
3. **Bulk Clone:** From the search results, use the Bulk Clone feature to clone the selected issues to the new project. Configure the clone options according to your needs.

body: Hi Shreya,

Just create a filter to identify the items. Then do a Bulk Change on those issues.

Then do a Move

Select the new Project and just keep following the prompts.

comments: author: Vijay Dadi
body: Well, Shreya's requirement was to copy but not to move.


author: John Funk
body: Ah, I see it was edited to make that change. Thanks for pointing that out.


author: John Funk
body: [@shreya bhatt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5471538) - Why would you want to copy them instead of just move them?


author: shreya bhatt
body: I want to create a different project for different team with the minor changes. I don't want to re write all the tasks and subtasks again.


author: John Funk
body: So you want all of the tasks and sub-tasks to be available for both projects - correct?

Or do you just want to move the tasks and sub-tasks from the existing project to the new project?


author: shreya bhatt
body: Yes, I want all of the tasks and sub-tasks to be available in both projects.
