How to copy the value of one of my custom fields to another field (comment) based on a specific transition.

dhaval soni1

I have created custom field for input textbox and associated with one of transition screen.

After executing transition action, i need this custom field value to be added on comment of that issue.

I could not find any related post condition or even - "copy from other" also does not show "comment" in destination field.

please suggest how it could be possible.

you can write your own postfunction. see https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Workflow+Plugin+Modules#WorkflowPluginModules-Functions

Issue issue=transientVars.getIssue();
Object var1=issue.getCustomFieldValue(ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("<your text field>"));
JiraAuthenticationContext authContext=ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext();
if(var1!=null)
{
   ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager().create(issue,authContext.getLoggedInUser().getName(),var1.toString(),false);

ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(authContext.getLoggedInUser() , issue, EventDispatchOption.EventDispatchOptionImpl.ISSUE_UPDATED , false);

ComponentAccessor.getIssueIndexManager().reIndex(issue);
}

you can put the above code and check in execute() method of workflow postfunction module.
