Copy values from One Cascading Select List to Another Cascading Select List field

[Sriharsha]

Hi Team,

I want to copy a value present in 'X' Cascading Select List Field to another Cascading Select List Field called 'Y'.

We use ScriptRunner for Jira.

Any suggestions pls.

Regards,

Hi @Alex Koxaras _Relational_ , I want to copy from Parent to Parent.

@Sriharsha when do you want to copy to it? You have to provide the whole context of your business requirement. Otherwise I could provide you with a false solution..

@Alex Koxaras _Relational_ - When the issue is moved from one Status to another Status, I want to copy the existing 'X' field value to the 'Y' field in the same workflow.

And what is the ultimate goal here? I mean why copy it? And what's the point of having two identical fields on your instance?

[Sriharsha]

Those are two different fields of same type (Cascading Select List).

[Alex Koxaras _Relational_]

So you have to different, but identical -value wise- fields?

Field A and Field B will have the below values (e.g)?

• Parent1
  • child1
  • child2
  • child3
• Parent2
  • child4
  • child5
• Parent3
  • child6

Field A And Field B have some common and some different Parent and child values -
