Automation for Jira addon: how do I copy a Select List (cascading) custom field

[Jason Coan]

The "Edit Issue" action lets me copy fields from one issue to a linked issue, but there are a couple of fields that aren't in the list.  Both are custom fields, both are Select List (cascading).  

The field list dropdown states that not all types of custom fields are supported, and to use the Advanced section if my field isn't listed....but I have no clue how to copy field values to linked tickets.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jason,

Yes we don't support cascading selects yet: https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-327

In the meantime, you can follow this answer for some help with the advanced syntax: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-questions/How-can-I-copy-a-cascading-select-value-with-Automation-for-JIRA/qaq-p/585395

Hope this helps.
