Hello @Urmo

Thank you for reaching out.

Per your description, I understand that you would like a specific field in your personal task to get updated when that same field is updated in any cloned issues. Is that correct?

If that's what you are looking for, you don't need any JQL to do this, but only define the correct link (Is cloned by) in the branch.

You can follow the example below to understand how this can be achieved - P.S: In the example below, I used the field "Paragraph" as the field you would like to update:

The rule background would be:

* Trigger: The rule is triggered when the field "Paragraph" is updated on the cloned issues
* IF: Condition to confirm it is one of the cloned issues that got updated (If there are any linked issues with the link type "Is cloned by")
* Branch:  Select the personal issue
* Action: Update the personal issue, copying the paragraph field from the cloned issue that was updated

Let us know if this information helps.

hello @Urmo

If you have scriptrunner, you can try using a JQL that looks like this :

issuefunction in linkedIssuesOf('project = xxx and key = {{issue.key}}', 'is cloned by')

hope it helps
