Place this field on the request type instead of the group all field you created--Please elaborate the solutions

* Go to custom fields
* Find the field you created
* Edit the screens and place it on the create/edit/view screen of your issue type
* Then go to project > project settings
* Go to request types and choose the request type(s) you want this field to place
* Place the field on the request type and click save

During the create transition copy the value from the above CF field to your group field----Please elaborate the solution

* Go to cog wheel > Issues
* Workflows > Edit the specific issue type's workflow
* Click diagram (next to "Text")
* Click "Create" transition
* Click Post Function
* Add new post function
* Select any post function to COPY the value of the field you create to the GROUP field you have

Hi @Sreenadh

You can't do that unfortunately on cloud. Adaptavist is preparing an app (which already exists on server/DC) called Behaviours via which you could do that (on server). However on cloud this app will first be limited to only a handful of systemic fields.

However as an alternative, what you could do is to:

* create a new CF as a single select with choices the exact group names
* Place this field on the request type instead of the group all field you created
* During the create transition copy the value from the above CF field to your group field

Hope that helps!
