Post function: Custom field not appending data on transition

daniel_gamez

I am trying to update a custom field on a post function inside a transition.

The post function is executed when Issue is moved from state 'IN REVIEW' to state 'TO DO'.

Datetimes array is a custom field of type Text(multiline)

The issue is setting the date, but not appending future changes

And this is the history of the issue

Hi Daniel - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I don't know what it is not appending the value and is instead replacing the value. You might want to create a support ticket for Atlassian to investigate.
Another option is to create an Automation For Jira rule and try to append it that way.

It's because the function you are using is for updating fields, not adding to them. If you were using a field that has multiple values, it would be adding to it, but you're using a text field, which is a single value, so it's updating.

Hmm, that description is very misleading then as it says it will append the value. "If set, the given value will be appended to the field."

I thought of that as well, so I tried to change the value from '%%CURRENT_DATETIME%%' to '*' which it would append to the current value, resulting in an iterative 1 line * per trigger

Opted for this solution, added a rule triggered by the transition from `IN REVIEW` to `TO DO` to add a comment with the date, just a workaround, will see if I can hide the comments and disable each notification for this particular rule, thank you very much!
