## New features and enhancements

Added support for an additional audit comment via configuration. This is useful when there's no link to the source issue.

#Optional audit comment when clone link is hidden (linkType empty). Opt-in only; unset = no comment.
linkType = 
cloneSourceComment = This issue was cloned from @issuekey@.
```

## Bug fixes

The following issues are fixed in this release:

- **Cross-project cloning**: Restored the ability to load the clone screen and project picker even when the current project doesn't contain the issue types required by `issueTypeIncludes`, so you can still select an eligible destination project.
- **Set field directives on submission**: Fixed an issue where `set.fieldName` directives could overwrite user-entered values after the clone screen was submitted, notably when clearing or presetting mandatory fields.
- **Cloning Epics with child issues**: Fixed an issue where cloning an Epic with child issues failed with an `IllegalArgumentException` when workflow-based permissions were configured.
