Hi and welcome to the Community!

I'm assuming you are using Jira Cloud? Anyway, think this one will also work on DataCenter.

So in your rule you will have to use the Edit Issue action:

In this example Date2 is your Test Date field (=destination). Change start date field here is your date time picker field Test Date Time.

Hi @Beeramgunta Saivinay -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What problem are you trying to solve by copying the same information from one field to another in the same issue?  That is, "why do this?"  Knowing that may help the community to offer better suggestions.

Until we know that...

When do you want to do copy the field?  That will help you decide how to build an automation rule to do so.

To get you started, please review this documentation: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/guides/automation/overview#what-is-automation

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks for your response, but it's not working for me. Can you please review our exact requirement below?

We have two custom fields: Actual Start and Actual End, both of type Date Time Picker. These field types are not supported in Jira Plans.

Since we need to include these fields in Jira Plans, and we cannot change their field type, we created two new fields: Actual Start 1 and Actual End 1, both of type Date Picker.

Our requirement is to copy only the date portion from Actual Start and Actual End to the corresponding Actual Start 1 and Actual End 1 fields.
