Delete labels on clone

[Daniel G_ Sinclair]

When we clone existing issues, I don't want some of the labels to carry over - specifically, any that contain the word "Planned"  How to create an automation that does this:

1. TRIGGER: When cloning an issue (or creating if that is easier)

2. LOGIC: Find all Labels like "Planned*"

3. ACTION: Delete them (do I have to cycle through until done?)

Do I need a JSON?

HELP! Thank you

Hi @Daniel G_ Sinclair 

To do that with a wildcard match to the text, you could...

• grab all the current labels with that text using a regular expression and the match() function.
• And using those results, either...
  • using advanced branch, iterate over them to remove one-by-one with edit issue, or 
  • build a JSON expression, and use the advanced edit with the JSON to remove them in one step

Kind regards,
Bill
