Copy the reporter from the source ticket to the target linked ticket

Question

Hi Team,

I need to copy the reporter from the source ticket to the target linked ticket. When creating a linked ticket through the "More" menu.

For example, I have a project called "ABC," which contains the ticket ABC-1. The reporter of this ticket is a user named "X." If I create a linked issue from ABC-1 to another project using the "Depends On" link type, how can I change the reporter from user X to my name?

Hello,

Welcome to community :)

Here is the sample which can help you get started

You can keep the trigger as per your need

So when reporter is changed source issue , the linked issues will have the same reporter
