Copy Issue summary to a Release Notes field on issue create

[Paul Dokken]

Can this be done in Jira?  How would I do this through an automation?

Hi @Paul Dokken 

What is the problem you are trying to solve by doing this?  Couldn't you just reference the Summary field later rather than duplicating the information...or...are you expecting the two fields will be updated independently later?  Thanks!

Kind regards,
Bill
