Is there a way to automatically remove the word "Clone" from the summary of issues when cloning in Jira, possibly using a smart value like {{issue.summary.replace(" Clone", "")}} in an automation rule?

Or even easier way, if you are Product Administrator, just Change Global Prefix for Clone

Hi @Robert Kornel and welcome to the Community!

You could try below smart value:

{{issue.summary.remove("Clone")}}

Hope this helps!

Hey, @Walter Buggenhout thanks! I set up a trigger for when work items are linked (type: Cloners), with a condition that the issue type = Epic. A branch for child items and then edit summary, where I included your smart value code.
However, I'm receiving this error message: The rule actor for this rule is missing some required permissions: EDIT_ISSUES

Can you share a screenshot of your entire rule and have a look at who the rule actor is? Is it the automation user or are you running the rule as a specific user?

Hey, I got it to work! Now I’m wondering if I’m both the owner and the actor, will the automation still work when another user from my team clones an epic in this project?
