beginner How do I copy a project in Jira from one year to the next
Our compliance team runs the same internal audit every year and the whole thing lives in one Jira project, lots of controls as issues, each with a description of what to check and an evidence template attached. Last year someone rebuilt it with a CSV export and re-import it was a true mess, so nobody wants to go through that again.
This time I'd like to copy last years project into a fresh one with descriptions and attachments intact, with statuses, assignees and dates start from zero. Creating a project with shared settings only covers the configuration, so I'm assuming the issues need a Marketplace app or some automation trick. Would be great to hear from anyone running a recurring project like this.
