Copy cascading list value to another when issue has an epic

[IT MayaHTT]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to copy a cascading list value(s) field from an issue to another when the new issue has the other as Epic ?

I'm already copying custom fields values using the post-function "Read fields from linked issues or subtasks" but this doesn't seem to work with a cascading list. I believe this has to do with the fact that a cascading list has two levels, I even tried with Advanced mode to parse the text as suggested here : https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/12912778/answers/12913290?flashId=-1735728274# But it fails setting up arguments (0 & 1) after the field id.

However, it works well for a sub-tasks using this : https://bitbucket.org/fcarmario/jira-workflow-toolbox/wiki/post-functions/Copy%20Cascading%20Select%20Field

Hi John,

Try using "Read fields from linked issues or subtasks" post-function with the following text to be parsed in advanced mode:

^%{nnnnn.0} + ", " + ^%{nnnnn.1}

You have to replace nnnnn with the corresponding field code in your JIRA instance.

Thank you so much this answers my question, and it works like a charm !

Have a great day! John

It will also work if you simply select the corresponding custom field as source value to be read.
