How to add Issue Key on issue Summary with JSU

This article illustrates steps to add an issue key to the summary of an issue in Jira when using the “Create A Linked Issue (JSU) Function” using the JSU Automation Suite for Jira Workflows plugin.

 Instructions

Follow the steps below:

1. Access Post-Function Configuration OR Add a New Post-Function: Navigate to the workflow settings of your project in Jira. Locate the transition where you want to add the issue key to the summary and access/create the post-function “Create A Linked Issue (JSU) Function”.

2. Add a Sub-Function: In the Sub-Functions section, add a new sub-function. Select the "Copy to New" function provided by the JSU plugin from the list of available, then in the first field, add “Key” to “Summary”.

5. Monitor and Maintain: Regularly monitor the behavior of the added post-function to ensure it continues to function as expected. Make any necessary adjustments based on changes in project requirements or system updates.
