Terminology
Term | Definition |
|---|---|
original | The issue being cloned. This is the original issue that started the clone operation. |
parent | The parent issue of the original issue. If the original issue is not a subtask, then parent is the same as original. |
entry | The issue being created as the clone. This could be the main issue or a subtask depending on when entry is being evaluated. |
The terminology for the meaning of parent and original. Many of these values are unlikely to be needed for clone customization but are provided for consistency with Create on Transition for Jira and Update on Transition for Jira variables.

Configured date format
For date substitution variables, the format of the replacement variable can be specified if the default format is not desirable. The format is specified by a Simple Date Format string enclosed in parenthesis following the substitution variable name. For example: %created(yyyy-MM-dd)% will result in replacement like 2013-05-28.
