What is the syntax for: IF (fieldname) EXISTS
Assuming multiple projects have been setup without exact copies of all fields in the various projects. However, among the projects, the different issue types have one of the following fields:
I would like like to create a rule that sets the date in the field that exists.
Currently, trying on all three, the rule sets the date in the existing field. But, it also triggers an error to complain about the two fields that don't exist in the particular issue.
Note that being case sensitive, End date is a different field from End Date.
First thing, I suggest not having different fields where the display names only vary in capitalization. This will confuse users and potentially some Jira internal processing.
Next, what types of projects are you using: company-managed, team-managed, etc.?
This is relevant because automation rules easily become confused by same-named fields in different projects. This is worsened by the design of team-managed projects which have distinct field configurations for each project.
So, what can be done to solve this situation?
Kind regards,
Bill
Nice to know the first choice above, creating a single field in global admin functions, is available. Will try that.

Rename the fields to one name: End date.
The name of the custom field is a project specific and editable name that points to the actual unique index to the field. The rule uses the field name as a lookup to the pointer to the underlying data field.
