Unable to clone an issue via JIRA CLI

Question

Hi,

I am trying to clone an issue via JIRA CLI but to no avail. It is showing the below errror

Clone of issue DEPLOY-123573 failed. customfield_17180 (IT Services):  IT Services is required.

the options i used is --action cloneIssues --copyAttachments --jql "key=DEPLOY-123573"

Can anyone help on this? Thanks in advance.

Hi @Bibek_ikuTeam_

Thanks!

it is ok to just update the value but it will be not sustainable. As this is cloning, the expectation is to clone the value from the issue being cloned but that is not the case for this custom field. Is there anywhere i could just pass a variable? I tried original_customfield_17180 but it is also not working

@Henry Tan ,

Welcome to the community!

As the error message says the input is required "IT Services" for the issue to be cloned.

jira --action cloneIssue --issue "SOURCE_ISSUE_KEY" --project "TARGET_PROJECT_KEY" --field customfield_17180="VALUE"

Replace the value with the exact value.
