Jira Cloud Automaton - Custom field text to custom field drop down?

Question

Hello,

I have a custom field (single line) that I am populating with the possible values
Small (weeks),
Medium (months),
Large (quarter)
XLarge (quarters),
XXLarge (year)

which once filled out (on edit) I want to match with another custom field that has these exact same values and via automation have the same value selected and saved.

so it would be something like

IF the value in the source field (11305) is "Small (Value 10491)" then update the target  (11304) with that value?

{
"fields": {

"customfield_11304" : { "id": "10491" }

}
}

Fields is a shortcut for calling update with the set operation. See more details here. I'd suggest breaking your implementation into smaller steps so you can resolve one piece at a time. For a single-select custom field, you should be using the following:

"customfield_11449" : { "value": "option3" } 
or 
"customfield_11449" : { "id": 10112 }

Once you make that work, you can use a smart value to set the option. See Find the smart value for your field for more details.

I tried with no luck

{
"fields": {
"customfield_11305": "{{issue.customfield_11304}}"
}
}
