This page provides details on how to add CLONE prefix to the summary when you clone an issue.

The standard clone operation that comes with Jira adds prefix **CLONE -** to the summary of the original issue by default. The certain users do not like this and prefer only the original summary. By default, Clone Plus does not change the summary. However, it can be customized to add this or any other prefix you like to the summary (or other fields for that matter). 

### Steps

1. Sign in to your Jira instance as Jira administrator.
2. In the top navigation bar, select **JIRA** **Administration gear**  > **Manage apps**.  
The *Manage apps* page is displayed.
3. In the left sidebar of the *Manage apps* page, select Clone Plus for Jira.  
The *Clone Plus for Jira Configuration* page is displayed.
4. Select* ***Clone plus properties*** > ***Edit** tab to edit a copy of the currently active configuration.  
Or  
You can also create a **clone-plus.properties** file in the directory configured as your **JIRA home** directory or copy and modify the example **[clone-plus.properties](https://appfire.atlassian.net/l/cp/60biB7cz)** file.
5. Add the following sample code to create custom clone operations **Clone+ (custom1)** and **Clone++ (custom1)**:
6. Click **Make Active**.
7. Ensure that the **Clone+ (custom1)** and **Clone++ (custom1)** modules are enabled. For more details, refer the [How to enable and disable clone operations ](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JCPP/pages/71272963)page.  
Once the Jira administrator has done these changes and the users clone any issue using the **Clone+ (custom1)** and **Clone++ (custom1)** clone operation, the summary is prefixed with **CLONE -**.
