Is there a script to populate a field depending on other issue data?

[Rob B]

Hi,

I would like to populate one field depending on another fields data.

Eg. Users selects Engineer = Dave

I would like Engineers Manager = Paul.

If there a script that will do this?

Thanks

Rob

Hello @Rob B

If you have Script runner plugin installed, then you can take a look into Behaviour module of the plugin, this allows you to do exactly what you want.

Hi,

You can easily do this with the plugin Automation for JIRA Lite

We have that plugin but looking at the custom automation rule there is no option to choose WHEN a field is populated. Can you please explain what you mean? Thanks
