Can we automatically update a custom field on a issue which is being linked from another issue

Question

Hi Team,

We are having Technical Specific Design (TSD's) in Jira which is having custom field called release, when we link Tasks we need that release to be automatically updated for that Tasks, once done we also want to make that field non editable.

Let me know if this can achieved through any plug-ins?

Thanks,

Vijay

Hi @M Vijay Kumar ,

Maybe you could use Calculated Date-Time Field from JIRA Workflow Toolbox in your tasks' view screen. You could create a Calculated Date-Time Field called Mirrored Release which automatically mirrors the value of the main linked issue. This field is not editable.

You should use a configuration like this one:

I'm assuming that Release field is a Date Picker field, but we can this same solution with any other type of field.

The expression used in this example is:

first(fieldValue({nnnnn}, linkedIssues()))

replacing nnnnn with the field code of Release. We can also select a particular linked issue using any filtering criteria. If you need help for doing it, give me more details, and I will give you the exact configuration required.

Regards,

Fidel

Agreed. I would like with Script runner, did not see any docs or links referencing the same. Do you have any info ?

I don't think there is any post function by default allows that. As I said you have go for some plugin either something like jira workflow Toolbox,  bob swift Create on Transition or script runner.
