Automation: how to copy Figma plugin attachment from the parent issue?

agladkikh July 21, 2021

We use automation to create a new issue for dev-team once the design is ready.

However I can't find a way to copy Figma plugin attachment from the parent issue. It seems like Figma plugin doesn't match any typical field like "customfield" etc.

I'm running into the same roadblock. Where you ever able to make this work?

Hello @Randi Rogers,

I am Marlene from codefortynine.

If you're open to work with a Marketplace app, you can try Deep Clone for Jira.

It is possibel to clone issues including "Figma URL/Designs" with our Jira cloud app.

  • Select the issue you want to clone
  • Click "Deep Clone" in the issue action menu
  • Make sure to select "Clone issue properties" in the Deep Clone dialog
  • Clone

Hi @agladkikh 

You may want to check that marketplace vendor's documentation to see if they support that with automation.  I suggest checking here for the specific product you are using, and then check their "support" tab: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&query=figma

While waiting for the vendor's response, you could also use the technique described in this article to learn if there is a smart value for the field.  Basically you find an example issue with the data, use a browser to call the REST API, and the search for your field/data in the results.

Best regards,
Bill
