Automate to copy a cascading select field data to another select field

Question

I have a cascading select field in a project and I want to copy the parent value of it to the newly created select custom field. I want to automate this like when any user change the parent value of the cascading field it should automatically update the new created select field and vice versa.

Example: field1(F1) is the cascading select  field and Field2(F2) is select field.

F1- parent values are a,b,c and child values are 1,2,3

F2 - Values are a,b,c

If the user edit the issue and change the F1 value to b it should also update the F2 value to b and vice versa.

Thanks for the response but mine is server/data center one. and does not have Automation doe jira addon installed. I have Script runner plugin can you help achieve this using that.

Also the F2 field is in the same issue type.

Example: Like I have new feature issue type with F1 and F2 in it. the F2 filed in not in different issue type

Hi @vikranthcms

This can be done with Jira automation. Have you tried it?

* Create new rule
* Trigger: Field value change (F1)
* If issue is not subtask
* Branch rule: For stories etc* New action edit issue and copy smart value {{triggerIssue.fields.YOUR FIELD.value}}

* Branch rule: For subtasks* New action edit issue and copy smart value {{triggerIssue.fields.YOUR FIELD.value}}
