Import data from one field to another

[Игорь Титов]

Hi!

My project has a custom "Due Date" field.

Many issues have values in this field.

I want to add the standard "Due Date" field to my project and import all the values from the custom field.

I have more than 500 issues and I don't want to do it with my own hands)

Is there any way to transfer this data?

Hi @Игорь Титов ,

Sorry, are you referring to bulk update issues due date in 1 specific date?

You can use the bulk issue operation in filter.

Search first all the issues in search filter then bulk update it.

Hope it helps,

Thank you.

Hi!

No, all dates are different. 

[Dexter de Vera]

oh sorry, you mean copy the due date to the custom field (same issue). If you want to copy the due date field to the custom field of the issue, You may use the Jira automation to achieve this.

Create automation with the trigger "Scheduled"

Align the JQL (example project)

Then add action - edit issues - select the custom field - copy the data from the due date.

Save the automation and manually run the automation

Hope it helps.

Thank you!

Happy to help. Don't forget to turn off the automation once done, so it will not run on schedule.
