Inherit Fields via Automation only if destination issue fields are not empty

[Kaja Iske]

Hi,

I have built the following automation:

I want to inherit the fields "Change type" and "Affected Product". This should only be possible if the destination issue fields are not empty. Can you help me please? My attempts have all failed so far.

Hi @Kaja Iske 

You could check the fields in {{destinationIssue}} with a condition so the rule only proceeds when they have values:

Kind regards,

@Bill Sheboy Thank you - that worked for me :-)!

After the When statement, you would typically put the link containing the linked issuekey in a variable like {{linkedOrigin}}. Then you can use smart values like {{linkedOrigin.customfield_xyz}} to transfer the values to your current issue

Thing is: 
I suspected the "change type" and "affected product" are custom fields. You need to fill in their correct numerical value in the smart value formula xyz. 

You can lookup the exact custom field names when doing an issue search in the advanced issue search mode.
