Copying data from "Select List (cascading)" field while cloning an issue

[Avi J]

Using an automation, I'm duplicating issues from one project to another and copying over much of the information.

Both projects are using the same custom field (customfield_10067), a  "Select List (cascading)" field. I want to copy this field into the new issue that I'm creating and can't figure out how to do so using the "Additional Fields" section.

@Avi J ,

You can use this JSON in Additional Fields to copy the value:

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

You can change the Custom Field Name by Custom Field ID as well.

Hope this helps.

Hey @Fernando Eugênio da Silva Thanks for this info, I'm facing the same situation as Avi. I just wanna know if this works the same if I need to clone 2 "Select List (cascading)" fields in the same automation?

How can I put it on JSON? Can you help me with that? Thanks in advance!

@Edgardo Ibarra ,

You can use this JSON to consider two custom cascade fields.

{

"update": {

"CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME": [

            {

"set": {

"value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME.value}}",

"child": {

"value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME.child.value}}"

                    }

                }

            }

        ],

"CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME": [

            {

"set": {

"value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME.value}}",

"child": {

"value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME.child.value}}"

                    }

                }

            }

        ]

    }

}

Hope this helps you.
