      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Problem statement

      At the moment, when cloning an issue, the reporter of the cloned issue will follow the reporter of the original issue. It will need to be done manually if users would like to change the reporter to a different user.

      Suggestion

      It would great if JIRA could provide an option to change the reporter of the cloned issue before the operation - e.g:

      • Option 1: keep the reporter
      • Option 2: change to: current user / ________ (user picker field)

            I am also looking at this feature at my company. I am not an admin, but so many clone issues, and the reporter gets set to the same. Often they follow up by asking what the ticket is for which creates confusion and a waste of people's time.

             

            I am all for either, the ability to set, or, just make the reporter the same as the one that's closing. Do both, and keep the ability to update this on the fly for certain roles and other lower roles, just auto-update.
