I want to copy of custom field values to another custom fields ,as there are duplicate custom fields i need to clean up 

custom field name is External issue ID nearly 22 are there only few of them is having more issues rest of them are few.

Hi @Madhuri Latha Bhumireddy 

The External Issue ID with number is a created field when an project import 

Every time this s done a field like this is created with a context to the specific imported project.

"The current behaviour is that we save the value mapped to Issue ID as a custom field. This behaviour is intentional, as it allows users to update the issues based on the earlier used ID in the CSV file."

Also see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-81999 

So these fields contain ID values, not actual data.

So you can retain one field and change it's context, to global.

But you can't combine them as when create the 1st value stored in the field is 1, so combining them can't happen, as all already existing fields have the value 1 and a field can't have duplicate information.

It's not working or it's not the expected result ? What kind of field do you use ? Are they the same type ?

These fields are all display on each issue or do you have only one field among these 22 display by issue ?
