how do i get the value of an already created issue, from the form field to a project field?

hi,

i aleady have a lot of created issues, filled with form fields.

I recently learned you cannot filter on those fields. Now I found the way how to link form fields to project fields and filtering is now working for newly created issues.

But how can I populate the already created form field content to project fields? Issues from before i figured out how to link them?

I tried resubmitting the form, but that doesnt populate the project field.

I hope someone knows how because i already have 1000ish issues.

Thank you!

I have not tried this myself but just have you tried creating an automation that just re-fetch issue data?

I would try with a manual trigger first and test it out on a few issues to see if it works. If it works then I would change the trigger to Scheduled and add a JQL that matches the issues I want to re-fetch issue data from (if there's a lot of issues the automation can get throttled so keep an eye on the auditlog for the automation) and then I would then select to run the rule right away. And when done you can inactive the rule or delete it.
