JSU: Copy Value From Other Field (JSU)

Question

Hi

We have a need to copy a linked issue key to a custom field. So from a JSD project, we are creating a linked JIRA issue in Jira project(ABC).  When the user hits "Create Ticket" status in JSD workflow, a Jira ticket gets created in project ABC with an issue like as the child of JSD. Now once ABC-1 is created we want that key ABC-1 to be copied into a custom field in JSD project.

We have JSU add-on and we tried all options in post function-Copy Value From Other Field (JSU) but no luck. Any thoughts?

I am using Copy Value from Custom field (JSU) within the same issue on one of the tranistion. But I see the value is not being copied.

I tried to place this post function before Update change history but still I dont see any change.

Can anyone help on this

The Key for an issue is a key object, and a text field will take objects that are derived from strings.

You should be able to do something like

issueToChange.setCustomFieldValue(customfield, issueToGetKeyFrom.getKey() )
