Copy value from field in one project to same field in another project based on another field value

Craig_ebqz5i

I'm looking to automate copying the value of a custom field Version In Project X, to the same Version field in Project Y.

The two issues in their respective projects are not linked. But I have a field Name in both projects which already contains the same value.

Where the value in Name matches between the issue record in X and Y I want to copy the value of Version from X into the Version field in Y.

It's possible that in Y multiple records with the same Name exist, I would like all of them to be updated.

Is this possible using automation & if so how?

Hi @Craig ,

I tried to create a rule that fullfills your requirement (as far as I understood your need correctly ). Please be aware that your rule need to be a multi project or global rule as it needs to operate across 2 or more projects. 

By using smart values the rule can check for issues in project X containing the same value as the (trigger-)issue in project Y. Important here is to think of the trigger (i just picked a manual trigger, that is something you have to figure out when your rule should be triggered to run).

Below is a screenshot of what I built.

Maybe for better understanding:

• the trigger issue is in project X, has set field: Mandant = 330 and Country = USA
• then the jql searches for issues in project Y with the same value for Mandant as triggerissue in project X (which is 330) --> solved with smart value in jql
• the jql finds several issues in project X with Mandant = 330 (same as triggerissue) and edits the found issues, field "Country" to the same value than triggerissue in project X (which is USA)

Hope I got your requirement right and this helps.

Best
Stefan
