How can I copy a value from a custom field and copy to Component field?

Moon April 8, 2015

I am a newbie. In my workflow, when a ticket gets created, I'd like to use:

add post function -> Script post function -> custom script post function 

to copy value of a custom field to a Component field. Any idea what the script for that will look like? Thank you in advance!

Thanks all for your response. I also found that out my JIra Suite Utility was an older version. Newer 1.4.10 version allows a built-in function to assign a custom field to the Component field. While this functionality existed in the earlier versions, assigning to a Component was missing and was put in in 1.4.10 version.

Hi Mick,

 

If you're using the JJupin plugin, the script will be as easy as:

components = someCustomFieldName; // or customfield_12345

The components variable is predefined, the CF can be accessed by its name or id. Here is the full list of predefined variables and a SIL Getting started for newbies smile In short, SIL is the scripting language designed for JIRA(and we recently started a plugin powered by SIL for Confluence)

Hope this helps,

Silviu
