Adding original key # to Clone ticket

[Leonid Itkin]

Hi,

the original jira.clone.prefix includes the default preffix as CLONE-.

if for example I want to open clone for ticket Test100, would like to see a prefix for th eclone as CLONE-Test100.

would you like to help how to do that?

Hi Leonid,

Provided that you are referring to a Jira automation you can add the original key to the clone as the following use CLONE-{{issue.key}} to give you a result of CLONE-PRJ-100 from an original issue key of PRJ-100.

Please note that if you are referring you changing the issue key to CLONE-PRJ-100 this is not supported as the issue key is an immutable incrementally generated number with the project key of the project that the issue is created in appended before the hyphen.

That said if your were to use the CLONE-{{issue.key}} method you could use this in any automation steps that accept smart values. E.g. setting the summary of the issue, etc.

Hope this helps,

Tom
