How to add number list to a multi-line text field in post function using Create on Transition app
This article explains how to add the values from a number list to a multi-line text field in the post function using the Create On Transition (CoT) app.
Instructions
- Log in to Jira as an administrator.
- Click Projects from the top navigation bar and select the project that you want. If the required project is not visible in the drop-down, select View All Projects and select the required project.
- Click Project Settings (bottom left of the project page).
- Go to the Workflows section and click the icon adjacent to the relevant workflow.
- Click the transition to which you want to add a post function. As an example, add the post function for the In progress transition:
- Select Post Functions, and then, click Add post function.
- Select the Create Issue option, and then, click Add for providing values to the fields.
- Under Issue fields, select Custom Fields from the left sidebar.
- Select the custom field and provide values to the filed. In the Values section, separate values with '\n' (newline character) as shown in the screenshot:
- Click Add in the post function.
- Click Publish to publish the workflow changes.
When you transition from In Progress in the Jira issue, a new issue gets created and custom field values are set.
Similar syntax can be used for bullets; use asterisk (*) instead of numbers.
