copy text into new field

[Jacco Hendriksen]

I would like to copy a predefined text block into a new textblock.

I found a way of doing this with Confiforms but this is created with 2 input fields

Can I create a text and name it?

Hi @Jacco Hendriksen 

You can set a static text value... does not have to be a value from another field

somefield=Some text you want to put

Hi @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ ,

Thank  you for this answer.

It is a bit more complicated. I would like to create a jira issue.

the desciption is this issue will depend on a choice i make.

Example:

If choice=1 description will be text block 1,
If choice=2 description will be text block 2.

creating the ticket works fine. this part I can not figure out

You can use Velocity templating and #if #else #end blocks if necessary

Also, set operations...

#set($desc = "")
       #if(${r1} == '1')
         #set($desc = "[entry.r1.label] - And some static text")
       #end
       #if(${r1} == '2')
         #set($desc = "[entry.r1.label]")
       #end
       #if(${r2} == '1')
         #set($desc = "$!{desc} [entry.r2.label]")
       #end
       #if(${r2} == '2')
         #set($desc = "[entry.r2.label] - $!{desc} ")
       #end

And then 

...

"description": "${desc}",

...
