Change default format of cloned subject line is "Clone - [original ticket subject]"

jira_admin_cu

Hi Team,

 Currently, when I Clone a jira ticket, the default format for the cloned subject line is "Clone - [original ticket subject]".
We would like the default to be changed to "[original ticket subject] - Clone". This will make it easier for us to sort on the Subject line and have related tickets (same name) appear together.

I know that we can manually change the format before generating the clone. 

Thanks!

As far as i know you can only change the prefix, suffix is not a thing:

Some Workarounds that might help:

If you have access to the pro version of Automation would be to use a manual trigger (it is not available for the free/lite version). Then use smart values to create your desired summary text.

Another workaround would be to use automation to edit the issue whenever an issue is created with [CLONE] then replace the summary with what you want. But that requires the user to leave it alone.
