If you are using the Copy Value From Other Field post function in the Create transition and you would like to copy values from linked issue (Issue Linking: Issue in Transition = Source, Issue Linking: Issue in Transition = Destination, Parent / Sub-Task, Epic / Issue in Epic), the Copy Value From Other Field" must be placed after 'Creates the issue originally'. An issue has to be first created, then a relation between these linked tickets is established. Only then values will be properly copied from/to linked issue. |

Place the Copy Value From Other Field post function anywhere before the "Update change history for an issue and store the issue in the database." post function.
Example
A workflow is configured so the Resolve transition has the 'Copy Value From Other Field' post-function. The function is configured to copy the value of the Assignee field to the TextField field. If a user resolves an issue on this workflow, the value of the 'Assignee' field will be copied to the 'TextField' field after the issue is resolved.
