This article explains the two ways to set a custom field on the Clone + and Clone++ actions using Clone Plus for Jira App.

Instructions

To clone a custom field value to an issue, we have to use the custom field id ( or ) name in the configuration file.

Setting the custom field based on

...

customfield_id

For example: If the custom field id is 10700, then specify customfield_10700 in the configuration file .as below:

1.set.customfield_10700 = 25/DEC/18
1.ignoreFields = customfield_10700

Setting the custom field based on the name

If the custom field name is short/simple then use the name as issame.

For example: If the custom field name is Rank, then use the below-mentioned code.

1.set.Rank = "Grade-1"
1.ignoreFields = Rank

...

If the Custom field name has multiple words in its name like, Planned delivery date then follow the below instructions:

• Need to escape each

...

• space character of field name with '\ '

...

• (backslash and space).

Example for Clone+ (custom1) operation so, we have to set the command with prefix '1'. 

...

in the configuration page:

1.set.Planned\ delivery\ date = 31/MAR/19

As a result, the date 31/MAR/19 will be set to your custom field value in the newly cloned issue.

Please see See the below image to know understand how the custom field name gets displayed in a JIRA issue.:
