Jira Automation Rule

Vinay Kumar Murjiani

I’m setting up a new rule in Jira automation to trigger when a new issue of type "Story" is created and then edit the "description" field. This rule should apply only to newly created stories, and I want to ensure that the description field is not edited when cloning existing tickets.

My current rule:

When issue created - Trigger

Issue type equals story - If condition

Then edit the issue field (description)

I know I have to add to add another If condition to ensure that when the issue is cloned, do not edit the description field in that cloned story. Can you help me to figure out how I can do that?

Hello @Vinay Kumar Murjiani

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

The only way to know that an issue might have been created using the Clone process is if the new issue has a "clones" link to the original issue. Since links can be added and removed by users, there is no guarantee that an issue created by Cloning will have that link, nor that an issue that has such a link was actually created using a Clone process.
