Notes

Workaround

There is no direct way of implementing the same behaviour, but we can filter an issue list comparing some of its fields with the Current issue, so we can check if the current issue has the same fields as any other on that issue list, which would mean that it is a clone. For example:

let current = issue;
let list = issue.links.map(l=>l.linkedIssue);
list.some(i=>i.priority==issue.priority && i.summary==issue.summary)
