      3. Hello,

        This article is very helpful.

        I am able to create a copy ticket and link, I was wondering how can we copy ticket and create multiple issue types and link it.

        Thanks

  3. Hi,

    I have tested the above code again, and it is creating Clone of a ticket in other projects.

    But “Links” are not coming. Can you help me on that?

      1. Take this code (it’s other similar but for Jira 7)

        Remember: you must create a folder called “example” in your “scripts” folder
        Remember: you must place the file inside the “example” folder with name CloneAndLink.groovy
        Remember: you must change/replace the “ID”‘s for your Jira ID’s. i.e. Type of Issuelink, etc.

        package example.CloneAndLink
