How to set a custom field using Clone plus for Jira

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.

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

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

or

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

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

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

otherwise

If the Custom field name 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'. 

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.

   1.ignoreFields = Planned\ delivery\ date
