How to copy text field between projects?

Question

Hi All

We have a requirement to copy "Text Field A" from Project A to "Text Field B" in Project B.

When the user closes an issue, the user will populate "TF-A" and hits close, this transition should copy value of "TF-A" to "TF-B" in project B.

* Can this be achieved by having same text field in both projects with context? or different fields?
* Is there a way to do with post functions?

You can achieve these with the help of automation for jira

note : field TF-A & field TF-B has to be of same type

automation is as : when the assignee field is changed, the related issue in other project assignee field gets updated with the same value

Make sure you select multiple project in scope

There are a few plugins that can help do this in a post function.

Update on Transition is one that should be able to do this pretty easily.

JSU can also do it also

And of course there are the scripting ones (powerscripts, scriptrunner) that can do anything.

Hi, @Sysad

JSU can definitely do this without coding. For more information about post-functions, you may check out the comprehensive documentation here: https://confluence-apps.beecom.ch/display/JSU/Workflow+Post-Functions

The JSU help desk is also pretty responsive. You can create a ticket here for further assistance: https://servicedesk-apps.beecom.ch/servicedesk/customer/portal/3/user/login?destination=portal%2F3

Hope this helps!
