Cloning an Issue to the next sprint only when ist does not exist

[Heinrich Bärhausen]

Hi everyone,

we're trying to setup a Jira automation rule to clone a recurring issue to the next sprint when it is set to done in the active sprint.

Our problem is,  if the issue in the active sprint is reopened and set to done again, the rule will create another clone.

I want to add the condition that if the cloned issue still exists in the next sprint, no further cloning should happen.

Are there any suggestions?

Hi @Heinrich Bärhausen ,

Do you keep a link with the between the original issue and its clone ?

If yes, you can use a JQL condition like this one : issueLinkType = "is cloned by".

Yes, that's it!

It was to easy for me to realize.

Thank you @Taha El Majidi
