How do I create an automation to remove " - CLONE" when cloning work items?

Mike Noonan_b2wf4a

When I go to clone an work item in my environment, the summary always displays CLONE - in front of the original value. 

 

I tried to create an automation to remove this but no luck getting it to work. 

 

The rule I tried to create was: 

1. New Trigger --> Issue Linked, Link Type=Cloners 

2. Action --> Look up work items with JQL set to issue in linkedIssues("{{issue.key}}", "clones") AND summary ~ "CLONE"

3. Action Edit Issue with field set to Summary and smart value= {{lookupIssues.summary.replaceAll("(?i)^clone( of)?(\\s*[-:]\\s*)?", "")}}

 

Can someone please assist with getting CLONE removed from cloned work items? Is this a setting that can be turned on and off?

Hi @Mike Noonan and welcome to the community.

 

Gladly, you can actually turn this off, although this is a global configuration that can't be limited to a specific project.

It is the "jira.clone.prefix" Setting in the Advanced Settings.
You can access these settings the following way:

1. Choose > System

2. Choose General configuration and click Advanced Settings.

The documentation can be found here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-advanced-settings/
