Update a subtask field based on a value from its parent

Karie Kelly1

Does anyone know how I can create a post function that will update a field on a subtask to a value that is on the parent - but, the fields are not the same. So, I cannot use the post function update field from parent. In my instance, I have a custom field called Employee that is a user field on the parent and I want to have a transition on the subtask that is assigne to employee - thus, I was to copy the field from the employee field on the parent to the assign field on the subtask.

Any ideas?

Make the employee field also for the subtask issuetype available (no need to put it in any screen). Then step 1:copy employee from parent to employee of subtask with update field from parent, then step 2: copy employee into assignee using copy value from another field postfunction.
