Hi,

we use Clone-Plus 3.0 on Jira 6.2.7 with Jira-Agile 6.4.

If we try to clone a story the following exception accured at the Agile Custom Field "Epic Link":

An error occurred whilst rendering this message.

With Clone Plus Version 4 the Epic-Link field isn't handled. So the exeption doesn't appear
