How to copy values from Epic to Story?

Question

I would like to try the Behaviours add-on to copy value from a text field from epic to story. We have a script for post function but some workflows are to big and it makes the maintenance awkward. We are using: * JIRA server v7.2.7 * Adaptavist ScriptRunner for JIRA v4.3.19 our script for post function: com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.managers.DefaultIssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
CustomFieldManager cfm = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
CustomField el = cfm.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_11571')
CustomField cpi = cfm.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_11095')
IssueManager im = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cpi, im.getIssueByCurrentKey((String)issue.getCustomFieldValue(el)).getCustomFieldValue(cpi))import I tried to use the script from CGM, but I get an error message: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Copy-values-from-Epic-to-Story-on-creation/qaq-p/214566#U710980 Can you help me? Best regards, Tatiana

Hey, In order to copy value for epic to all the story under it-(post function) Try this: import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue; import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor; import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField; import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue MutableIssue issue = issue if (issue.getIssueType().name == "Epic"){ def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager(); def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager() List outwardLinks = issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId()) CustomField cf1 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("cutsomfieldname") def cfvalue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf1) List issueinepic = new ArrayList(); for(int i=0;i
