Execute behavior only when specific field is changed

[Nikhil]

Hi,
I have added a behavior for setting default questions in to few fields based on other field value, Ever thing is working fine on create screen but when I click edit on the issue the behavior runs again and it erases the answers entered while creating issue. Now i want to runt this behavior with other condition i.e, it should run only when we edit the field value.

I have found similar (https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Execute-behavior-only-when-specific-field-is-changed/qaq-p/26347) requirement which was answered by Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist] But i am unable to render the info from a field and compare it.

Hi @Dar Kronenblum 

I have added it to the specific field itself but the issue is when i click edit screen it shouldn't wipe out the changes i made on create screen until i change the type of request field.
