Why don't sub tasks update from parent in create transition post-function

Question

Hi,

I have set up a post function on Jira that should update a fied in an issue from a parent issue on the create transition. But when I create a sub task it is not setting the field to the value of the parent.

What's going on? p.s. I have moved the post function to be below "create issue originally"

Your functions need to be *above* "creates the issue originally", not below.

From the link you provided: 
The JIRA Suite Utilities plugin provides three additional workflow post-functions:

* Copy Value From Other Field
* Update Issue Custom Field
* Clear Field Value

I can't see that any of those have anything to do with updating an issue from its parent.

I am using the built in post function "Set Field Value from Parent" - I would attach a screenshot but I can't.

We only have one workflow for all issue types - I have checked that it is set correctly and it is.

Are you using the JIRA Suite Utilities for this, to copy the value of a field?

Check that you've got the right issue type associated to the workflow in your workflow scheme.
