copy field X value A to field Y value

[Maurice Stassen]

How can i copy a field value using an automation rule with "More options" "Additional Fields" ?

I want to set the value of the field "Account" (tempo field) to the same vale as the Jira custom field "Company Code".

I tried this:

{
  "update": {
    "Account": [
      {
        "set": {"value": "issue.Company Code"}
      }
    ]
  }
}

But this gives me an error:

Hi @Maurice Stassen 

You appear to be missing the curly brackets around the smart value for your field.  Please try this one for your JSON.

{
    "fields": {
        "Account": {{issue.Company Code}}
    },
}

Here is the documentation on using the advanced editing with JSON to give you more ideas:

Also, if you are unsure about the names of the smart value for your fields, you can try this technique to identify them:
