How to autopopulate a custom field?

[Kalpana Ramesh]

I need to automatically populate the field "closedDate" after a request is marked as "Closed". I have tried using the post function "Update Custom Field".

Hi @Kalpana Ramesh,

There are many add ons that provide such functionality and they all work fine. What was your problem with the post function that you are using.

This should help, I use it all the time;

It needs a plugin but it's free.

If it is the case, you can do it with post functions and the JIRA Suite Utilities plugin, here:
