Automation, Copy select list (cascading) custom field from an issue to new issue on transition

[Natanael Aubert]

Hi Everyone,

Need help configuring JIRA Automation,

I was trying to copy one custom field with Select List (Cascading) type from original ticket to a newly created ticket using JIRA automation.
As I notice, Select List (Cascading) Custom Field are not supported in "Choose Field to Set" in the Issue Create option.

Now the question, 
Is it configurable using "More Options"?

In there, additional field values seems can be configured using a JSON object,
But I'm not sure how.

Thanks.

Hi @Natanael Aubert and welcome to the community!

You're correct, this can be done in the More Options section of the Create/Clone/Edit  issue actions:

{
  "update": {
    "CUSTOMFIELD": [
      {
        "set": {
          "value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.CUSTOMFIELD.value}}",
          "child": {
            "value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.CUSTOMFIELD.child.value}}"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

 You would replace "CUSTOMFIELD" with your custom field name
