Substitution Variables - Cloud
On this page:
Overview
Substitution variables provide powerful capabilities to customize. These variables provide text string representations of fields useful for inclusion in other fields and you can:
Set field values from other existing fields and custom field values.
Construct conditioning values.
The syntax for referencing substitution variables is: %<variable name>%. All text entry fields support replacement.
Example: %parent_summary%
Terminology

|---|---|
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. |

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.
