Overview
With 3.6 of Create on Transition for Jira, there are now two ways to copy a custom field value to a different custom field. The new way provides the ability to do this for more fields than before.
...
- Find one of the Set custom field parameters.
- Put the name or id of the target custom field (the one to be set) in the first field. target_cf in this example.
- Use the substitution variable syntax to specify the second field (values field). %source_cf% in this example.
This is the easiest approach provided you have enough Set custom field slots to use for your needs.
Use "Copy parent or original issue custom fields"
...
- Choose either the Copy parent issue custom fields or the Copy original issue custom fields parameter appropriate for your scenario.
- Remember this parameter is a comma-separated list of names.
- To specify a mapping, use a name constructed from the 2 custom field names (or ids) separated by a colon (:). Use source_cf:target_cf in this example. Use custom field ids, if the names contain commas or colons.
