Update field value from email request

[Raquel Badenas]

Hi!

Is it possible to complete the field value of a task generated from an email? In body email I have the fields value and I want to send this value to Jira Issue

Thanks!

If you are asking if you can influence (update) the value of a field based on the create email message body then you can do this OOTB using Automation. Here is a quick example of where I change the priority based upon email body.

Great! I tried and it's perfect. Thank you so much!

Hi @Raquel Badenas 

Yes that is possible with the help of ScriptRunner for Jira on Cloud. You can write a listener that can be triggered on new email created. You can write code to parse the body (description) of the issue and process it to update a field.

Give it a try.

Hi @Jack Brickey @Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_ 

How this rule works for custom fields.  

For example, in the email body, we have fields.  

Customer Account:   

Hardware Platform:

How can we update them to Issue? 

[Jack Brickey]

@Pathan Zubair Khan , when you add the action to edit issue you will be able to select which field you wish to edit. Begin typing in the field to see if your field is listed. Keep in mind the solution here deals with a known list of possible values. It does not dynamically extract the text from the description and insert into a field.
