      Error creating issue
      Issue type 10000 cannot have parent but a parent is specified. (issuetype), Issues with this Issue Type must be created in the same project as the parent. (project)

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a rule to clone Epics
      2. Set a Parent Link (Initiative)
      3. Clone issue (with target issue type as a non subtask)

      Expected Results

      Clones the Epic setting the parent as expected.

      Actual Results

      The clone action fails saying that Epics can't have a Parent set:

      Error creating issue Issue type 10000 cannot have parent but a parent is specified. (issuetype), Issues with this Issue Type must be created in the same project as the parent. (project)

      Workaround

      1. When the Parent is not required - Add the following to the Additional Fields section within the Clone Issue action:

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

       

      2. When the parent is required - Update the parent after the issue creation.
