jira.permission.create.clone not working properly

Hi everyone,

This is an update to inform you that this ticket is invalid.

The key used here, jira.permission.create.clone, is invalid. Using the right key, jira.permission.createclone.denied, with the right value, true, the problem shouldn't happen.

JRASERVER-67652 is about a similar, valid bug when using the right key, and there is a Workaround. Please watch it for more details.

Summary

Setting jira.permission.create.clone = disabled on a specific step on JIRA will still allow users to clone issues on that status, unless the property is also set on the first status of the workflow

Steps to Reproduce

For this example, I'm using the following workflow as reference: To Do -> In Progress -> Done

1. Add the following property to the In Progress status: jira.permission.create.clone with the denied value and publish the workflow changes;
2. Navigate to an issue on the In Progress status and try cloning a ticket on More > Clone

Expected Results

The current user won't be allowed to clone the ticket.

Actual Results

The current user can normally clone the ticket.

Workaround

Set the property on the first status of the workflow as well.
