Hi @Jeevan ,

As Marc said, you can do this with ScriptRunner but also with Automation. I've used this on cloud but should be the same for DC. You can get the cascading field value (whether level 1 or 2) via smart values and then just 'copy' that string into another field.

You might want to check out the following thread for this: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Use-cascading-fields-in-automation/qaq-p/1960012

But also, the same question as above - what's the use case of copying existing data to another field as you'll have duplicated values?

Anyway, hope this helps.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi @Jeevan

Welcome to the community.

I don't think this is possible with a behaviour, but using scriptrunnner itself (i'm no expert).

But my 1st question is why copy data thats in the issue to another field in the same issue?

This seems creating duplicate information for what kind of reason?
