You can create an issue link from the original issue to the cloned issue.

# Prerequisite

Ensure your administrator has done the following on the *Properties* page while creating a clone operation:

1. Select the **Add link** checkbox to create an issue link from the original issue to the cloned issue.
2. In the link drop-down list, select the required link from the original issue to the cloned issue while cloning. For example, consider the **is cloned by** link option is selected.

For more details, refer to the [Clone Plus for Jira configuration - Cloud](https://appfire.atlassian.net/l/cp/8wokApBM) page.

4. Click **Clone**.
5. On the *Create issue *page, select values for all the issue fields as required.

A successful issue creation message is displayed and the issue is cloned with the selected link.
