Copy Field Value to Text Field

[Jennifer Bader]

Hello,

I'm trying to add the text from a date-picker custom field into the Subject Text Field (both from within same issue form). What are the parameters that I need for bringing this into the field with automation?

The issue field name is "Start Date" and is a date-picker field. I need the date from that field to be inserted into the "Summary" field in text form.

I've tried using:
{{issue.fields.Start date}}
{{[Date].issue.fields.Start date}}
{{customFieldId=10015}}

Any input would help! Thanks in advance!

@Jennifer Bader Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Just try this smartvalue: {{issue.customfield_10015.jiraDate}}

If you want to use another format, just check this doc: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-date-and-time/

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Fernando

Hi Jen:

Again, welcome to the community.  I am glad what @Fernando Eugênio da Silva suggested for you worked out.

To give you more information on smart value (as related to date/time field value) - take a look at the following link - https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-date-and-time/

Lastly, this is an excellent go-to guide on smart value syntax - https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-issues/

Hope this also helps.
