How to enable and restrict clone+ and clone++ options for project(s)

This article explains how to customize the Clone+ and Clone++ options for project(s) using the property file.

Instructions

  1. Log into Jira as an administrator. 
  2. Navigate to > Add-ons > Manage apps > Clone Plus for Jira and select the relevant modules.

  3. Disable the default Clone+ and Clone++ options and enable the following custom Clone options:

    1. Clone+ (custom1) and Clone++ (custom1)

    2. Clone+ (custom2) and Clone++ (custom2)

    3. Clone+ (custom3) and Clone++ (custom3)

      Clone+ and Clone++ are the modules enabled by default when you install the app, and these labels are not editable.

  4. Click Configure to open the Configure Clone Plus Properties page.
  5. Click the Edit tab to add the following clone-plus properties:

    Show this action for all projects, issue types, and status for clone+ and clone++
    // Represents for Clone+ (custom1)
    1.condition.*.*.*= true	
    
    // Represents for Clone++ (custom1) 
    1.plus.condition.*.*.*= true			
    Show this action only for DEMO project with all issue types, and status for clone+ and clone++
    // Represents for Clone+ (custom2)
    2.condition.DEMO.*.* = true	
    
    // Represents for Clone++ (custom2)
    2.plus.condition.DEMO.*.* = true		
    Do not show this action for CLON project with all issue types, and status for clone+ and clone++
    // Represents for Clone+ (custom3)  
    3.condition.*.*.* = true			
    
    // Represents for Clone++ (custom3)
    3.plus.condition.CLON.*.* = false		
  6. Click Make Active.

You can now see the configured labels in the More option.
