Copy one issue summary into another using project automation

[Vishal]

Hello Guys,

We are using plugin automation for jira, using that I need to copy summary of one ticket into another.

We have a custom field on our request from where users put jira story number eg. STORY-1,

I need to copy the summary of STORY-1 into newly created ticket, how do I achieve that ?

Currently, I am only able to copy value of custom field that is STORY-1 but I need the summary of STORY-1.

Please suggest if anyone has any idea.

Thanks

So,I have managed to do myself & if anyone wondering here is a solution. I used a trigger called "When : Issue Linked" then edit issue with the smart field update {{destinationIssue.summary}}

@Vishal I'm trying to do something similar not sure if your solution would help.

I have an epic and I'm creating an automation to create a number of standard tasks below it that include the summary of the epic as part of their summary. So it would be:

Epic Summary: "Tutorial Video"

Task 1: "Script for {Tutorial Video}

Task 2: "Screenshares for "{Tutorial Video}"

...etc

Is this what you achieved?

Hi @Jaime Capitel (resolution)

No, it is not what did, but I have the solution & have done something similar which will work in your case.

All you need to do is preset your Tasks issue summary as below :

Task 1 : Script for {{issue.summary}}

Task 2 : Screenshares for {{issue.summary}}

This will work upon choosing appropriate trigger action.

Thanks
