Is there a way to Set Field Value from Parent but not replacing the existing value?

Pan Wong1

For example, I have a workflow to set component from a parent task. However, we would like the ability for users to put in the necessary component even if it's a different component from the parent's task.

Parent Task has component "A"

I created a subtask under that Parent Task, but fills in component "B"

Ends result right now is that my Subtask has component "A" and component "B" was removed.

Thanks.

Greetings,

With the OnDemand platform, configuring sub-tasks in this way is not possible, unfortunately.

From our docs:

Configuring sub-task fields displayed on parent issues

Not applicable to JIRA OnDemand.

JIRA system administrators can define which fields of sub-tasks are displayed in the Sub-Tasks section on the 'view issue' page of a parent issue (which contains one or more sub-tasks). This is done by editing the value of the jira.table.cols.subtasks property on JIRA'sAdvanced Settings page.

Specify which fields you want to show in the Sub-Tasks section of a parent issue's 'view issue' page by entering the appropriate 'value' for each field in a comma-separated list. The jira.table.cols.subtasks property can accept the values indicated in right-hand column of the IssueFieldConstants table on the Constant Field Values page (of JIRA's API documentation)

Here is that link if interested:

Sorry I could not be of more service.
