Set summary automatically when creating a issue

[BZCC IT]

I'm customizing it project that do not need summary, but an serial number is there, but the system requires a summary, so I want to use the post transition function to fill the summary with the "serial" field that I created as an custom field in the create screen.

I'm try to use "Add Post Function To Transition", "Update Issue Field" and find the "summary" is there in the "Issue Field", but do not know how to set the "Field Value" so that the summary can be set with the value of the custom filed "serial"

any advise?

I've search this question but find almost the same suggestion using scriptrunner, just want to know if there's a simpler way to do this.

Thanks.

Theres is also now a nice and easy to use dashboard plugin for doing this: Mirrorlake Pivot Charts.

If Excel is your preferred tool to tackle this, check out the Better Excel Plugin.

This can do all the sorting, grouping and data manipulation on your JIRA data that is supported by Excel. Even better, it allows creating pivot tables and pivot charts easily.
