This can be used to generate the ALT_ID value to store an issue when cloning an issue.<\/p>\n
Edit<\/em> screen buttons<\/p>\n It can also be used to manipulate the cloning message that goes into the inbuilt COMMENTS field. For example, if you want to insert a message that is different from the standard \u201cIssue # xxxxx cloned from Issue # yyyyy\u201d, then use this method to overwrite the value for the COMMENTS parameter.<\/p>\n This method shows how a cloning message can be changed from the standard. Instead, it overwrites the value for the comments parameter, and returns the modified message.<\/p>\n Purpose This can be used to generate the ALT_ID value to store an issue when cloning an issue.
