This really isn't a good idea, especially not to do it as a direct read and copy.  The better method to do it will be to write the scripts you will need to maintain the fields going forward, and apply them to existing issues so that they duplicate the current scripted field content.

Why are you trying to do this?  It sounds like a bit of a downgrade?
