      Issue Summary

      When creating issues through Clone Action, the following error message is shown in audit log:

      Given parent issue does not belong to appropriate hierarchy (parentId) 

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a rule with the follow structure:
      2. Branch on subtasks
      3. Clone issue (with target issue type as a non subtask)

      The problem also happens when trigger issue is from a level above Epic and if the rule tries to create an Epic level issue, even without any branch.

      Expected Results

      Since the rule is not creating a sub-task issue, no Parent ticket should be needed.

      Actual Results

      The rule fails even asking for a Parent issue to be set:

      Given parent issue does not belong to appropriate hierarchy (parentId) 

      Workaround

      Add the following to the Additional Fields section within the Clone Issue action:

      {
         "fields": {
            "parent": null
         }
      }
