This article explains the two ways to set a custom field different ways of setting a custom field value 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.

...

Set the custom field based on

...

custom field 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

...

Set the custom field based on the custom field 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 code mentioned below mentioned code."

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

If the Custom field name has name has multiple words in its name like, Planned delivery date then follow the below instructions:Need , you need to escape each and every space character with a space character of field name with '\ ' only when the custom field name has multiple words along with a space(s) character(s) in it.Here we are providing this example (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.:

Ignore the fields set on the clone plus configuration page

In order to hide the custom fields which that are already set in the clone plus configuration page form the from clone+ and clone++ custom actions we can use , use the ignoreFields parameter as shown below.:

1.ignoreFields = Planned\ delivery\ date
