Using Jira automation to copy a custom field value from one sub task to another with same parent

Gordon Rutherford

Hi All

Using Jira DC I am trying to automate the copy or present the info in a text custom field that is added to a subtask, into another subtask using Jira automation. The fields have the same name. The both have the same parent. I may be missing something but you can easily do it between parent and subtask, linked issues etc but can't work out how to do it from one subtask to the other with the same parent.

I would also like to have a condition in the automation in that the copy only takes place if the two subtasks have the same custom field date.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Gordon

Hi Gordon,

Can you share the automation rule that you have so far? And where it is failing for you?

Hi John

Thanks for your input here and apologies should have posted a rule in my original question - anyway since I posted I was able to get the field to update using the rule posted below - what I need now is the condition that it only updates the subtask that has a matching date to the trigger subtask

Progress - great! Ad the end, try adding another Branch for Sub-tasks. Then place an Advanced Compare Condition below that comparing {{issue.Date Field}} equals {{triggerIssue.Date Field}} where Date Field is the exact name of the date field you are using.

Hi John

Assume you mean to replace my JQL branch with subtask - which I have done but then it doesn't find 'any' subtasks.

Also separately is my syntax correct in the compare values condition? rule 2.PNG
