Copy the key of a work item to a field called Copy-workkey

Hi

I want to copy the key of a work item to a field called Copy-workkey in an automation rule. Is this possible and, if so, how should I do this? The trigger is an update of an issue.

 

Grtz.  Eric

You can use when work item created as a trigger.
Use any other conditions as issuetype etc and in action use edit field and choose copy-workkey field and set its value to {{issue.key}} smart value
