Creation of Duplicate Testplan Folders when Duplicating a Project

Products and Versions Covered:

Jama Connect® version(s): 9.35.x, 9.36.x
- Cloud/CVC

Summary

Duplicate (empty) Test Plan folders may appear in the Test Plans area after duplicating a project. This behavior has been confirmed as a defect (SOS-DEF-9645). The duplicate folders are created as part of the project duplication behavior and can be removed manually as a workaround.

Symptoms

After using ADMIN > Project > Actions > Duplicate Project, the destination project shows duplicate folders under Test Plans.
The duplicate Test Plan folders are empty.
The duplicate Test Plan folders may appear even when the Explorer Tree does not show duplicates.
Reported/reproduced in Jama Connect® 9.35.x.

Resolution

Diagnosing the Issue

Duplicate a project via ADMIN > Project > Actions > Duplicate Project. (You must have organization or project admin permissions with the Add Project role.)
Open the duplicated (target) project.
Navigate to Test Plans and check for duplicated folder structures.

Workaround

Delete the duplicate Test Plan folders that appear after duplicating a project.

Additional Notes

When duplicating a project, test plans, test cycles, and test runs are not copied to the target project. If you need to reuse testing assets/results across product variants, consider a dedicated testing project approach (see Additional Resources).
Engineering is actively working on a fix; at the time of writing, the fix is expected in Jama Connect® 9.38.0 (based on internal defect tracking for SOS-DEF-9645).
