Copy linked issue data

[Kerli Loopman]

I have issue type A that has data (custom fields) that needs to be copied to issue type B which are linked to each other. 

I have tried doing it several ways but can't find a proper solution. The trigger is not important at the moment, can be either triggered manually or when linked.

Hi @Kerli Loopman 

I think you can get this done even without an automation rule. 

Simply create a custom workflow for the subtask type you want and configure a postfunction for the "create" transition where that custom field value is copied from the parent issue.

I hope it helps.

Yes It can also be done using automation as well.

@Mayur Jadhav neither of the issues are subtasks. They are just different issues that i have linked to eachother.

Hi @Kerli Loopman ,

Copy use-case can be achieved using Automation for Jira . Have a look at the examples.

Cheers

@Ajay _view26_ I can't find an example if I have two different issues (neither of them is subtask), I link them to eachother, and values from issue A are copied to issue B.
