Copy two cascading fields during an automation

[Laura Snoeij]

Hi, 

I have an automation in which an new issues will be created during a certain transition. 

During this action I would like to copy two different custom fields over to the new issue. These two custom fields are cascading fields. 

I managed to copy a single field over by  using 

{
"update": {
"customfield_xxxxx": [
{
"set": {
"value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.customfield_xxxxx.value}}",
"child": {
"value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.customfield_xxxxx.child.value}}"
}
}
}
]
},
"update": {
"customfield_xxxxx": [
{
"set": {
"value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.customfield_xxxxx.value}}",
"child": {
"value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.customfield_xxxxx.child.value}}"
}
}
}
]
}
}

How do I get a second field in? Just repeat the above does not work.  My knowledge on JSON is very limited. 

Thanks for your advice

Laura

Hi @Laura Snoeij 

Try the following. I've tested it and works fine:

{
   "fields":{
     "customfield_xxxxx" : { "value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.customfield_xxxxx.value}}", "child": { "value" : "{{triggerIssue.fields.customfield_xxxxx.child.value}}"} }, 
     "customfield_yyyyy" : { "value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.customfield_yyyyy.value}}", "child": { "value" : "{{triggerIssue.fields.customfield_yyyyy.child.value}}"} }
    }
}
