How do I automatically remove the word "Clone" from the title right after cloning

[Robert Kornel]

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?

Hi @Robert Kornel

Automation could be a solution as suggested in other comments, you might have already tried it.

On my side I can suggest giving a try to our app Elements Copy & Sync especially if you're performing a high volume of cloning actions. It's easy to set up and automated.

The app allows you to clone issues and define the summary: it can be the exact same as the source issue or you can insert smart values depending on your needs.

The app is for free during 30 days (and it stays free under 10 users), so don't hesitate to give it a try!
