  4. Configure the post function as shown below, where the Copy/Set Fields are added using a sub-function and publish the workflow.

If you want to add the post function on a Create issue transition, position the post functions below Re-index an issue to keep indexes in sync with the database post function. You can do this using the Up and Down arrows for the corresponding post function.
