How to add multiple labels on an issue

Question

Suppose i have two custom fields A and B.

A has values abc

B has value xyz

While creating issue my Lables should be

Labels abc xyz

I tried to create Post Functions and used Copy from one field to another. It worked but what is happening suppose i created two post function one for A and another for B then its taking the last one and not concatenating.

So please suggest which post function should i use in order to get the correct values

You'll need to use a different post-function.

Copy field works by copying a field.  It takes the new data and overwrites the old content.

Labels (amongst others) is a field that holds a list of values (even if there's only one).  Your need here is to be adding to that list, not overwriting it with another value.  In the background, the code needs to

* Read current list
* Try to add new data
* Post new list back into field

There are a couple of apps that do provide "add label" or "add to a mulit-value field" that will do it, but I'm not sure you have one that includes one.

How did you do it via post function. Can you please let me know the steps. Because I have multiple custom fields and then I need to store all of them into Labels. The post function I tried is just overriding

Step 1: Read the Existing Label data in post function and keep variable

Step 2: Read the Field A and Field B data

Step 3: Merge all these values and assign to label

This i have done - it is working...
