Automation: Cannot select target issue to copy field value on edit issue compoment.

[정영헌]

Hello.

I try to create new rule that copy some field value from parent to child issue.

However, I cannot select target issue to copy value on "edit issue" compoment.

How can I fix it?

(Please see gif file attached.)

Thanks.

Hi @정영헌 

This is a bug, you can note that this affects you here: AUTO-1225 

There is a workaround:

1. Leave the field within the "Edit issue" action on SET (i.e to allow a value)
2. Set the value to {{triggerissue.Field Here}} - where Field Here is your field's name

How can I configure customfield in parent issue?

{{parentissue.some_field_id}} like this??

Hi @정영헌 

If the parent isn't the trigger issue, then this should work...

{{issue.parent.Field Here}}

If custom field of parent issue is array or list, How can I refer them??

I got error audit log like below.

["10001", "10003"]
