Copy field value from a linked ticket in another project.

Help please.

When I update custom field "A" with value "Services", I would like to update custom field "B" with value from custom field "C" which exists from a linked ticket from another project.

Is there a way to achieve this via code in a Workflow Post-Function?  If yes, could you please share the code here?

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Doods Perea

Workflow post-functions are only for workflow transitions and not anyway related to field updated. If you want to execute some logic when a field is updated then you need to write custom listeners. You can either write your own plugin or if you have Script runner installed then use that to write custom listener to implement the required logic.
