Starting December 5, 2025 (QMetry Test Management for Jira v4.15.1), the QMetry Test Management for Jira documentation moved from its location on Atlassian to a dedicated, standalone QMetry Test Management for Jira documentation page. For the latest updates, refer to Clone Test Cases.

Users can create a clone of existing test cases with their test steps.

Clone Test Case from Test Case List View

You can use the inline clone feature to clone individual test cases.

For example, Testers need test cases for the next release. These new test cases may have some common field values as existing test cases. The test case needs to be a copy of the existing test case. So they create a copy of the existing test case using the Clone feature.

On clone, the latest version will be copied to the new test case.

Perform the following steps to clone a test case:

1. Hover over the test case. The icons for Clone and Delete become visible.

2. Click the Clone icon to create a copy of the existing test case.

Clone Test Case from Test Case Detail Page

To clone test cases from the test case detail page:

Go to the test case detail page that you want to clone.
Click the Clone icon.

The Clone Test Case dialog box opens.

Test Case Name: The test case name is populated with “Cloned” prefixed to the existing name. You can change the name as per your preference.
Select Folder: You can select/change the test case folder in which you want to keep the cloned test case.
Test Case Version: Select either Clone Current Version or Clone All Versions.
Additional Options: You can opt to clone the test case with Comments, Attachments, and linked stories.
- Clone with Linked Story: While cloning test cases individually or in bulk, you have the option to preserve the linkage with associated stories, which helps maintain traceability.

Required Permissions: Users with the “Requirement Edit”, “Test Case Create”, and “Test Case Edit” permissions can clone a test case with linked stories.

3. Click Clone to clone the test case with the selected criteria.

Clone Test Case from Story Details Page

Users can clone the associated test case version directly from the Story page. The cloned test case version gets linked with the same story automatically. The feature saves time required in creating similar test cases and linking those test cases with the same story.

The Current version of the Test Case will be linked with the story.

Perform the following steps to clone test cases from the story details page:

Go to the story detail page.
Hover over the test case that you want to clone, and then click the Clone icon that becomes visible on hover.

The Clone Test Case and Link with Requirement dialog box opens.

Test Case Name: The test case name populates with “Cloned” prefixed to the existing name by default. If the Clone Prefix Settings are configured with other text, the field will populate the test case name with the configured prefix.
Select Folder: You can select/change the test case folder in which you want to keep the cloned test case.
Additional Options: You can opt to -
- Clone with Comments
- Clone with Attachments
- Clone with Linked Story: While cloning test cases individually or in bulk, you have the option to preserve the linkage with associated stories, which helps maintain traceability.

You can change the name as per your preference.

3. Click Clone and Link to clone the test case and link it to the requirement/story.

The test case is cloned with the default or set prefix.
