Automation rule to recover fields to another ticket

Laetitia Montrichard_j1sts5

Hello,

When I create a new ticket, I would like to recover data from 5 custom fields from another related on ticket. My two ticket are linked by a "related on" dependencie. My 5 custom fields are the Summary, Description and 3 specific fields. How can I do an automation rule for that?

Thank for help

Hi @Laetitia Montrichard

To automate the recovery of data from 5 custom fields on a "related on" ticket, you can set up an automation rule in Jira to copy the field values when the new ticket is created. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Create a New Automation Rule

1. Navigate to Project Settings > Automation > Create Rule.
2. Click Create rule to start a new automation.

Step 2: Set the Trigger

• Use the Issue Created trigger:
  • Trigger: When an issue is created.
  • Add a condition to check if the new ticket is linked to another ticket via the "related on" dependency.

Step 3: Add a Branch for the Related Ticket

1. Add a Branch Rule / Related Issues action.
2. In the branch options, select Linked Issues and choose the "related on" link type.

Step 4: Copy the Custom Fields

For each field (Summary, Description, and your 3 specific fields), add a Edit Issue Fields action:

1. Click Add Action > Edit Issue.
2. Use Smart Values to copy the field values from the related issue. For example:
   • Summary: {{issue.summary}}
   • Description: {{issue.description}}
   • Custom Field 1: {{issue.customfield_XXXXX}} (Replace XXXXX with the field ID of your custom field.)
   • Custom Field 2: {{issue.customfield_XXXXX}}
   • Custom Field 3: {{issue.customfield_XXXXX}}

Step 5: Save and Test

1. Save your rule and test it by creating a new ticket with a "related on" dependency.
2. Verify that the fields are correctly copied from the related ticket.

Pro Tip

To find the Field IDs for your custom fields:

1. Go to Jira Admin > Custom Fields.
2. Locate the field and click the … menu > View Field Information to find its ID.
