There are two ways to set a custom field in Clone plus for Jira.
Instructions
To clone a custom field to an issue, we have to use the custom field id (or) name in the configuration file. How to use a custom field-id in the configuration file, please use the below mentioned code.
1.set.customfield_10700 = 25/DEC/18 1.ignoreFields = customfield_10700
otherwise
If the requirement is to use Custom field name and if it has multiple words in its name like (Planned delivery date) then follow the below instructions:
Need to escape each and every space character with a '\ ' only when the custom field name has multiple words along with a space(s) character(s) in it.
Here we are providing this example for Clone+ (custom1) operation so, we have to set the command with prefix '1'.
Include the below code in 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.
To not to display your custom field in the cloning screen, then please include the below statement along with above code.
1.ignoreFields = Planned\ delivery\ date
Please see the below image to know how the custom field name gets display in a Jira issue.
Note: Following are some of the acceptable Custom field names with our app, so you may use these formats in the name, i.e. custom-multi-select, custom_cascade_select, custom\ three, custom-date-type-field etc...
Date Format: Any JIRA application property format should work.
If your project consists of custom fields, it is recommended to include them in the ignoreFields (refer to Clone properties) list, for them to behave as expected during Clone operations.
