During 'Bulk change' , Can we Copy "Fix Version/s" value to Build Number Field ?

Question

Currently we updated Fix Version/s with Build Number Value.. so we would like to Copy "Fix Version/s" value to Build Number. and later update fix Version/s value with right version number.

while Bulk change it is allowing only set "Build Number" with static value , is there a way to copy Fix Version/s value to "Build Number" field ?

No, the bulk edit is exactly what it says - it performs the same edit on each issue selected.

It's simply not dynamic like that.

What you CAN do though:  Set up the workflow on the issues so that it has a transition like "copy fix" (you can hide it from normal users with a condition like "only admins" if you want).  Use a post-function to copy the fix version to the build number field - you will need to find/write a plugin to do that, but there's quite a lot of "copy field" plugins available in the marketplace.

Then, use "bulk edit" and transition all the issues through the new transition.

You could consider making a loop transition on the current status of the issues, and add a "Copy value from field to field" post function to it. Then, bulk transition the issues to their current status to trigger the loop and post function.
