Issue type screen scheme cloning is also available in Jira. You can easily make copies of existing issue type screen schemes. One very useful application of this feature is that it enables you to make backup copies before experimenting with new configurations. Note that copying the issue type screen scheme does not back up the screen schemes and screens that it contains.

Perform the following steps to copy an existing issue type screen scheme:

1. Browse to the Issue Type Screen Schemes page.
2. Click on the Copy link for the issue type screen scheme you wish to copy. This will take you to the Copy Issue Type Screen Scheme page.
3. Enter a new name and description for the issue type screen scheme.
4. Click on the Copy button to copy the selected scheme.

Newly created issue type screen schemes are inactive by default, while cloned schemes are not used by any projects.
