@acacase thank you for the report! The visual improvements to Kamino cloning is a new feature, so I wouldn't consider it a bug. However, if you can let me know how you use Kamino and why you need the formatting to stay exactly the same, I could look into adding an option to retain the formatting in the extension options.

@johnmurphy01 We use Kamino to clone issues that we've created as generic "templates" for tasks that we do over and over on projects. The new visuals you've added interfere with the formatting of these templates. So each time I clone an issue I need to go in and remove all the indents and line breaks. And it's adding a lot of time to an already laborious process. If you could add an option to turn that off, that would be amazing!

Same issue here, cloning large existing issues to use and modify in another repo. Wrapping the old issue in a blockquote now requires manually editing a 100+ lines of markdown in the new issue to remove the > characters added for the blockquote formatting.

Making the blockquote formatting optional either in the settings or a choice as part of the clone issue button would help as there could be use cases for "quoting" the old issue inside the new issue but also times like in my case where I need the text of the old issue as-is because it will be the Markdown of the new issue.

@johnmurphy01 Any update on adding the option to the settings panel?

The plan is to do it, but I haven't had time yet. I'll try to get something put together in the next few weeks
