Action details: Clone issue Can not create issue in project/issue type 10145/10283
Asked by Adam Abela:

I tried creating this automation rule that will automatically clone an issue but it gave me an error.  

The project that it is cloning to is a 'Business Project' and I have admin in both of the projects, but in the original Project the Project Access is Private. Could this be the issue?

Did you select the issue type for the cloned issue's project?

For example, in your current project, you have the issue type "question." However, in the project you want to clone, it might not have the same issue type. In this case, by selecting the appropriate issue type, the issue can be cloned successfully.

I did select the type and unfortunately the automation still gave an error.

Yes, the permission is the problem. You must have access to Create Issues on the project that you are cloning to - or whoever is the Actor for the Automation Rule.

Even though I created the Project that the issue is cloning to? Or do I also need permissions on the Project that the issue is being initially created?

body: Wait a minute - the rule says to create in the WM project. Your example above is for the AF project. Try to create a Task in the WM project using the Create button.
