Pass custom field value to another custom field in child sub-task

[Lukas]

Hello folks! I do some small automation: The issue has custom field "Risk owner", So when the Status is "Risk accepted" by risk owner, it should create a child sub-task within the issue and assign it to own custom field "Task owner", which should be the risk owner.

Here is how my automazion looks like:

How can I allocate the risk owner as task owner in the child subtask?

Are both fields the same type of field?

Can you click the ... next to the field  (where it currently says "{{issue...}}" ) and select Copy From?

That should prefill the pull down field with Copy Task owner from Current issue

You should then be able to click on that text in the pull down field and get a pop up that gives you options to select which field you want to copy from and source issue.

In the example below I selected the Assignee field as the one I wanted to fill in Sub-task, and selected that I wanted to copy from the Reporter field of the issue that triggered the rule.

Thank you @Trudy Claspill . I copied just from Risk owner field to Task owner on the field, as you showed, and it works.
