Copy value of people custom fields in different projects using an automation rule.

Swati Verma_kkgcr0

I want to copy the value of a customdfield_12567 of PB project (Task) to another customfield_11776 of PMO project (Epic), through automation rule when task from PB project is transitioned to "Clone to PMO" a clone epic is created in PMO.

 

Customfield_12567 and Custom field_11776 are both people field (restricted to single select). 

PB and PMO project are both team managed project.

 

I am not able to select the custom field from the edit field area therefore I need a json for the additional field area.

 

I am attaching the screenshot of both the projects with the field highlighted and the automation rule I have created to copy the value when a clone ticket is made.

 

Kindly help me here.

Hello @Swati Verma 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Have you reviewed the documentation on Advanced Editing with JSON?

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/advanced-field-editing-using-json/

It outlines the general syntax and the syntax for setting specific types of fields. A People field in a Team Managed project can be either single or multiple selections, so you have to set it as if it was a multiple selection user picker field:

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/advanced-field-editing-using-json/#Multi-user-picker-custom-field

You would need to use the account ID associated with the user.

{
  "fields": {
    "destination field": [{ "id":"{{triggerIssue.source field.accountId}}" }]
  }
