When you add this post-function to a transition and trigger the transition, the add-on sets the value(s) of the selected field to the value(s) from the same/different field of the issue's parent issue.

Customize this post-function using the additional options provided as a part of the post-function. The options are:

Options

  • Destination field

Allows copying to a different field than the source field. For example, automatically add the Reporter of the parent Epic to the Watchers of a User Story.

  • Copy only if not set

Copies the value of the selected field, only when the field is empty on the current issue.

  • Add parent value(s) to the current issue

Appends the selected field of the current issue with value(s) from the same/different field of its parent issue. This is applicable only to multi-valued fields.

  • Send notifications

JIRA sends notifications for the change in the selected field value on the current issue. You can control the default value of the "Send notifications" option in the Configuration page under JMWE administration. Click here for more information.

Conditional execution

To execute this post-function based on the result of a Nunjucks template see Conditional execution.

Delayed execution

To delay the execution of this post-function see Delayed execution.

Info

The parent/child relationship in JIRA refers to Issues and their Subtasks, not to the Epics and their Stories. 

If you wish to copy a field from an Epic to a Story, you can use the Copy field value from linked issues post-function.
