Automation for JIRA: Copy a text field to Priority Field

[Deleted user]

Hi

I need to copy the value from one text field to other field(selection)

Tryied to use the priority field.

Set the rule as in picture

When = issue created

Field = Priority  (system field)

Value = {{ issue.Tenable Serverity }}

Note:

Tenable Severity is the name for the source field. It's text and read only.

Priority is the system field and it's selection based.

It's not working:

error in log:

Action details:

Edit issue

Error editing issuesTRUVM-18993 (Error occurred setting field 'priority'. It will be ignored. (priority))

Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch. The issue is that using that field it is trying to set it using its id, whereas you have its name.

To set it by its id, remove the priority field from the edit action, and select more options. In the field add this:

{
    "fields": {
        "Priority": { "name": "{{issue.Tenable Serverity}}" }
    }
}

Thanks,

Scott
