Automation copy value from Release version default field to a custom field?

Yuliia Vyborova

Hello!
I want to set automation that will copy value from Release version (Version picker) field to Release version (custom field) (short text). At the Edit issue fields step, I set COPY and when I start searching, I don't see Release version (default one) on the list to copy value from. It shows only custom field. Can you please help with automation?

Hi @Yuliia Vyborova 

In the list Field to copy value from, only fields with the same type as the selected field are available. Click More options and try copying the field value with JSON. Like this:

{
   "fields": {
      "Test short text field": "{{issue.customfield_10043.name}}"
   }
}

Replace "Test short text field" with "Release version (custom field)" and "customfield_10043" with ID of your version picker field.
