@Mohamed Benziane Thanks, I have already got the solution by the jira-python documentation.

jira_options={'server': 'https://jira.abcd.info/'}
jira=JIRA(options=jira_options,basic_auth=('username','xxxxx'))

for issue in jira.search_issues('JQL'):
print('{}: {}'.format(issue.key, issue.fields.customfield_13405))
my_cf=issue.fields.customfield_13405
issue.update(fields={"customfield_16104": my_cf})

+1 upvotes for you.

I used the jira module for python

https://jira.readthedocs.io/en/master/_modules/jira/client.html

You can use this script to begin :

jira = JIRA(basic_auth=("username", "password''), options={'server': 'http://jiraURL.com'})

issue = jira_server.search_issues('ABC-123')
field = issue.fields.description #my value from the description field

#after that you just have to create or update your issue with this value

new_issue =  jira.server.search_issues("DEF-111")
new_issue.update(description = field)

Hope this helps
