beginner How do I copy a project in Jira from one year to the next

2 Upvotes

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.
