# Enhancement

## Jira administrators can define a link from the original issue to the cloned issue for clone operations

Do you want to define a link from the original issue to the cloned issue for your clone operations? This is now possible with our latest version of Clone Plus for Jira Cloud.

On the  [Clone operations](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JCPP/pages/71274379/Clone+Plus+for+Jira+Configuration#Clone-operations) > *Create clone operation* > *Properties* page, you can use the new **Link** drop-down list to select the link that you want from the original issue to the cloned issue while cloning an issue. By default, the **is cloned by** option is selected. 

Once you have selected the required link while creating a clone operation, your users can clone an issue with the selected link. If the required link is not selected for a clone operation, by default the issue will be cloned using the **is cloned by** link option.

You can select any link available on the *Settings* ⚙️  >* Issues* > *Issue linking* page,<span style="color: #ff5630"> </span>for example, blocks, clones, duplicates, is blocked by, is cloned by, relates to, is reviewed by, and so on.

With this new feature, the mapping field values **Set link type **and **Set link direction** are now supported for migration from server/DC to cloud.
