Automatically Creating a JIRA issue In Another Project Upon Completion

[Kaylin Mercer]

I am pretty new to JIRA but the company I started working for uses it for a lot of things. Two of the main things it is used for outside of development is placing purchase orders and keeping track of our in house inventory. I am trying to think of a way to have the purchase orders after they are completed to perform a post-function to create an almost identical issue but in our inventory and link the two. Any suggestions on how I can go about this or if it is possible?

Are you on Jira Cloud or on a self-hosted Jira server? Do you have any plugins that provide automation capabilities? Answering this will help contributors craft replies.

I am on a self-hosted server and we have JIRA-script Runner, I am really new to it and still learning it.

I see a way to bulk import custom fields and values. So what i need to do is make a script  that automatically takes an issue from one project when it is created and creates one with a similar name then imports those fields. It's the creating and copying info that I am not as confident on at the moment.
