The tool has a feature to copy specific values from the parent ticket to a child ticket:

https://github.com/figueiredorui/1-click-child-links/wiki/Copy-fields-value-from-parent

I would like to add two new values there:

This should copy the value from Story Points and Effort field to the Remaining Work of child ticket

If the fields are present in parent, you can get them in child (may not be the same field). I have Billing Code in parent but not in child. Hence when the child is created, I can add "Billing Code - XXXXXX" in Description field. Then add everything else from parent Description field.
