Clear fields while cloning issue

Question

Hi,

I am a new Jira Admin. I have a self-hosted system on version 7.2.3 and script runner on version 5.3.1.

Previous admin have created an automation according to which they can clone bugs to HotFixes upon request. The HF created inherits all fields from the parent issue(bug).

They have now come up with a request, demanding that the Original Estimate field should be purged to the child issue(HF). I have tried:

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'Original Estimate'}
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf, null)

but it doesn't function.

Any ideas about this?

I believe this happens cause for build-in fields there is a box where you can select what to inherit to child issue.

All those lines we are trying to make work are usefull only for custom fields.

I believe this is the key that was missing all those days. What do you think?

Even though I put script to the "additional conditions", the clone is not created at all.
