Merging two Custom Fields

[Deleted user]

Hello,
We have the problem described in this Post: http://old.nabble.com/Merge-values-from-duplicate-custom-fields-td28950086.html

My question is: Can you tell me which values in which tables must be edited in order to merge the two "Story Points" fields?

Regards,
Adrian

JIRA Command Line Interface copyFieldValue action will do this. You need a release supporting JCLI-246. Use in conjunction with runFromIssueList action to loop through (JQL) issues. Something like:

--action runFromIssueList --common "-a copyFieldValue --issue @issue@ --field custom1 --field2 custom2" --search "key = ZJIRACLI-1"

Specific Apps now offer the functionality to easily merge values from duplicate custom fields, saving you time and increasing the performance of your Jira Index. Both Cleaner for Jira and Scriptrunner offer these capabilities.

Cleaner for Jira has recently been updated, specifically enabling you to copy the values from one Custom Field to another Custom Field – allowing the original to be removed.

The new analysis feature also highlights whether there are conflicts e.g. Issues with a value for both Custom Fields, and you choose whether to overwrite the destination value with the source value. In addition to a feature that maintains the Issue History and shows as an issue update.

Find them both on the Atlassian Marketplace today.

Hi Laura:

"Cleaner for Jira has recently been updated, specifically enabling you to copy the values from one Custom Field to another Custom Field – allowing the original to be removed."

How can I do that? I can't find that function.

Thanks.
