Pre-Populate "Summary" field

Question

Heya there,

I'm currently looking for some ways to pre-populate our mandatory Summary field. We will need a specific structure for the headline (summary), that's the reason I want to have it pre filled with: %customField1% : %customField2:

1 would be for example the issue type and 2 would be the name of the company.

How can this be achieved with Jira Cloud? I have found some articles but found nowhere a way how to do it exactly. :/

Thanks

I don't know of any way to do it dynamically without using a third party plugin.

Thanks! Is there no way how it could work without addons?

Felix,

I would use scriptrunner to make this change on post create function.  I would also ensure that the two custom fields are required.  I think it would be something like this issue.setSummary(field1Value + " " + field2Value)
