Creating new project with copy app state not copying the issue metrics- SSC 22.2.1.0008

We are using the SSC 22.2.1.008 .

When we  create one version of project from previous version of project, artifact is copied from older version. But issue status marked in previous version is not copied. This causing huge rework for us.

In running instance we create new version of a project by copying from older version,

It used to work. There was no change in version.

In between suddenly this stopped working. Not sure what has changed .

Any idea what could be wrong here?
