  1. Select Settings (), then under Jira admin settings, select Work items.

  2. Select Workflows.

  3. Find the workflow you want to duplicate, then select Copy

  4. Enter a new name and description, then select Copy

You can then use the workflow editor to add or edit statuses and transitions.
