Automation: Do something if issue is NOT a clone

Chris Fortmueller

We have an automation rule that uses a branch rule to do something to the related issue that the issue in question is a clone of.

I would like to do some other action, if and only if, the issue in question is not a clone of another issue.

Is there a way for me to find out in automation if an issue is a clone of another issue, or not? I am thinking smart values might offer something like this?

Hi @Chris Fortmueller

I do this by adding a related issues condition to exclude them when checking a created issue trigger. For example:

related issues: linked issues
link types: "is cloned by", and "clones"
condition: are not present

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi Chris,

Can you share your workflow? That will help me track what you are asking better.

Hey @Bill Sheboy yes, I actually managed to find that option on my own some time later. This does exactly what I want. Thanks @Bill Sheboy !

Hi Chris,
This solution has worked for me.
In the automation, I am deleting the newly cloned ticket because a lot of custom fields are getting cloned and i cannot find a way to customize this.
Pls help if you know a way of restricting fields from getting copied over (other than Links and Sprint that jira provides)
