New Workflow Copy REST API

You can now copy a workflow using the Jira Cloud platform REST API. The new copy workflow endpoint creates a new workflow from an existing one, together with the statuses that workflow uses:

POST /rest/api/3/workflows/copy

Previously, copying a workflow was only possible through the UI.

The copy is created in the same scope as the workflow it was copied from. Copying a global workflow produces a global workflow, and copying a project-scoped workflow produces a workflow scoped to the same project.

Permissions required

• Administer Jira global permission to copy any workflow, including project-scoped workflows.
• To copy a project-scoped workflow, either the Edit workflows project permission, or both the View (read-only) workflow and Administer projects project permissions.
