OK so here's the step by step on what I mean:
Issue is created with a custom field called 'Languages'. The user has a choice of 5 languages and selects 2 of them (lets say English and French).
The issue then generates 2 clones. 1 of them then has the Language field English, the other has French. The original issue is then deleted or moved straight to closed.
ALTERNATE: The original Issue retains English within the custom field, but a clone auto generates with French.
Is this possible?
