## Bug fixes

The following issues are fixed in this release:

- **Epic child validation**: When cloning an epic with **Clone issues in Epic** enabled, Clone Plus now prepares and validates each epic child like the main issue on the clone screen. Children that can't satisfy mandatory fields in the target project are skipped instead of created without required values. When children are skipped, the clone screen stays open with a warning banner, and warnings are added as a comment on the cloned epic.
- **Estimate field validation**: Invalid Original Estimate or Remaining Estimate values on the Clone Plus screen now show the same validation error as native Jira create. Clone Plus keeps your input on the error screen and blocks issue creation instead of clearing the estimate and cloning the issue.
- **Custom link type warnings**: Submitting the clone form with a missing required field no longer shows an incorrect warning that the clone link type doesn't exist when the operation uses a custom link type, such as `linkType = Relates`. Clone Plus now resolves the configured link type name correctly and shows the warning only when the link type doesn't exist.

## Security improvements

The following security improvement is included in this release:

- **Jackson Databind upgrade**: Upgraded the bundled Jackson Databind library from 2.21.2 to 2.21.4 to address deserialization vulnerabilities identified through Appfire security monitoring. The addressed vulnerabilities are CVE-2026-54512, CVE-2026-54513, and CVE-2026-54516.
