Fields to copy

This section allows you to add a list of fields to copy from the source issue to the destination issue. Specify the following:

  • Source Field: Select a field from the source issue(s) to copy the respective field value.

  • Destination Field: Select a field from the destination issue(s) to which the source field value is copied.

  • Options: Select one or more options for copying the values. Available options:

    • Set only if field is empty: Sets the value of the selected destination field only if the field in the destination issue(s) is empty.

    • Create missing value(s): Allows creating any missing component(s) or version(s) while copying to a field that expects Versions or Components. This is applicable for version and component fields.

    • Ignore empty value: Does not copy the source value to the destination issue, if the source value is empty or null. This means a blank value will not be assigned to the destination field and the respective field value will be retained as-is.

    • Append value(s) to the field: Appends the value(s) to the selected field of the destination issue, instead of replacing its value. This applies to only multi-valued fields.

Click Add another field to add one more field to the list.

Click the Delete icon next to a field to stop copying that field.
