We have a labels type custom field called Market.  I am trying to copy from labels to market.  I have tried this method:  market.jpeg

and I tried ..

{
"fields": {
"customfield_12501": {{triggerIssue.labels}}
}
}

when i add a log statement for issue market: {{triggerIssue.Market}} only a blank is returned. 

How can I access this field?

Hi @Diane Fahr 

The labels field is a list of values, so perhaps trying converting it into a JSON array first, like this:

{
"fields": {
"customfield_12501": {{triggerIssue.labels.asJsonStringArray}}
}
}

Kind regards,
Bill
