Jira split task functionality does not set the assigned team field to the same valu that the origina

[Geethanjali S J]

Hi,

We use a custom field called Assigned Team(s) to segregate issues in the product backlog and have multiple teams working in the same project space.

Using the split functionality for a task on the backlog view of a scrum board does not set the Assigned team(s) for the newly created split task.

Can anyone please help on this. Please let me know if any plug-in is there to resolve above query..

Regards,

Geethanjali.

Hi Geethanjali,

When splitting an issue, it's not possible to copy custom fields on Jira Server or Cloud. 

There is a feature request suggesting the implementation of this ability:

• Save the custom field details when using Split issue feature in Backlog 

Please, click on vote and watch to receive updates about the feature.

I can think of an workaround but it is not foolproof - trigger a listener/project automation whenever the link type is split to copy the custom fields. However, if someone uses the split link type for any other purpose than too these custom fields would get copied.

Kindly accept the answer if this suffices your need. Let me know for more information.

Thanks,
Aditya
