How to exclude the sprint field while cloning an issue

This article helps you in excluding the sprint value while cloning an issue using Clone Plus for Jira app.

Instructions

Enable the custom modules of the Clone Plus for Jira app and update the properties file with the below property to exclude the sprint field. Refer to this article to enable the custom modules.

Edit the configuration file of the Clone Plus for Jira app. Follow the below steps to navigate to the property file:
1. Log in to Jira as an Administrator.
2. Click Cog menu > Manage apps.
3. Click Clone Plus from the left sidebar and click Edit in the Clone plus properties tab.

Add the fieldExcludes= Sprint property to the configuration file, based on the custom modules you are using. See an example below:

#using clone +
1.condition.*.*.* = true
1.label = <some name>
1.fieldExcludes= Sprint

#using clone++
1.plus.condition.*.*.* = true
1.plus.label=<some name>++
1.plus.fieldExcludes= Sprint

By adding the fieldExcludes= Sprint property, you will not be able to see the Sprint value on the clone issue screen and also the field is not copied to the new cloned issue.

For the native clone+ and clone++ modules of the app, you will not be able to achieve this scenario. Instead, use the custom clone operations for extended clone operations.
If you have edit permission to an issue, you will be able to update the sprint value after the issue creation.
