      Issue Summary

      The automation rule to clone issues throws the following error message even when the issue was cloned successfully and the problem field skipped:

       

      Unknown fields set during clone, they may be unavailable for the project/type. Check your custom field configuration. Fields ignored -
      Description (description)
