Copy description between linked issues across two projects

[Damian Deßler]

Dear community,

I have done already a few automations in JIRA for our setup, like create a "Story" and copy descriptions from the created issue in another projects (global setting for multiple projects).

Now we have the requirement to copy the acceptance criteria from the Story in Project #1 to the initial Business Feature in Project #2.

I created this Automation:

If in the current issue the value for "Testfallbeschreibung" changes, copy the value to the linked issue and add a comment.

Adding the comment works, but for some reason the description is not copied.

Do you have any ideas?

Hi,

This should be work with this:

Thx, I will try this one. Hope it works :)

[Damian Deßler]

Wow, great! It works. I use it now for custom fields. Thanks a lot.

Just another short question. I have a checkbox attribute that I would like to copy but unfortunately there is no option to use the smart fields. Any ideas?

Hi,

You can try somthing like this :

{{issue.customfield_name.value}}

[Damian Deßler]

Oh man, so dumb. Once you post the smart template you have to activley press the typeahead, otherwise it doesn't save it.

It works now... damn :D
