How to automatically assign a cloned ticket?

[Adam Burgess]

Hi,

Is it possible to automatically assign a cloned JIRA ticket using the post function within the workflow?

I assume its possible but not sure which post function to use?

Thanks

There is no event like clone issue that is why are unable to distinguish a cloned issue from a manually created issue. You could distinguish it by a link, for example. If so you would need an add-on like Power Scripts or Adaptivist ScriptRunner. If you have Power Scripts then your script for a post-function would look like this

if ( size(allLinkedIssues(key, "clones")) > 0) {
  assignee = currentUser(); 
}
