Example

A workflow rule is configured so the Resolve transition uses the Copy Value From Other Field post function. The value of the Assignee field is copied from the origin issue to the ‘TextField' field in all the issue’s subtasks. 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.
