Copying a Date Time Picker field to the 'Release Date' field of a Fix Version

unknown

We use a separate 'release' project to track project releases, with tickets that show release dates etc.

I would like to be able to pull a 'date' field from an issue in a separate project into the 'release date' field of a fix version

Is it possible to access and populate fields in a fix version in this way?

Dear @[deleted],

with the power of the API, you can. REST call to get the issue. The JSON contains your custom field (date picker):

GET /api/2/issue/<issue key>

Then the update of a specific version:

PUT /rest/api/2/version/<id>

The put data (JSON) looks like this (taken from the API Doc):

{
    "<span>self</span>": <span>"http://www.example.com/jira/rest/api/2/version/10000"</span>,
    "<span>id</span>": <span>"10000"</span>,
    "<span>description</span>": <span>"An excellent version"</span>,
    "<span>name</span>": <span>"New Version 1"</span>,
    "<span>archived</span>": <span>false</span>,
    "<span>released</span>": <span>true</span>,
    "<strong>releaseDate</strong>": <span>"2010-07-06"</span>,
    "<span>overdue</span>": <span>true</span>,
    "<span>userReleaseDate</span>": <span>"6/Jul/2010"</span>,
    "<span>projectId</span>": <span>10000</span>}

Was this helpful?

So long
