When a custom field has multiple words in its name like (Planned delivery date) then how to set it in the configuration page of Clone Plus for Jira.

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'. 

  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.

  2. 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
  3. 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.
