Appending text to a text field in a linked issue

[FH]

Hi everyone,

I have a clone of an issue. When transitioning the clone, a post function has to append a new text fragment to a text field in the original (linked) issue.

There are post functions from JMWE which do almost that, but none of those can append to text, they only append to multi-value fields.

Could someone give me an idea?

Hi @FH 

you can use JMWE's Set Field of Related Issues post-function, using a Groovy template like this as the Value:

${relatedIssue.get("text field")}
Some text to append

And if you want to just append the value of the same custom field from the current issue to the value in linked issue, you can use this:

${relatedIssue.get("text field")}
${issue.get("text field")}

Thank you!
