Can you copy from a scripted field to a custom field?

[Alexander Rosado]

We need to track history of changes to a scripted field. We would like to copy it to a custom field so that it is logged in the system. Is this possible or is there limitation?

@Alexander Rosado ,

Do you want to copy the value of scripted field to other custom field?

Or Do you want track/copy the history of changes of scripted field to other custom field?

What is your user cases?

[Alexander Rosado]

We would like to copy the value of scripted field to another custom field.  It is more of a database issue.  They want to be able to track when the change is applied. Scripted fields don't seem to record when they change.

@Alexander Rosado ,

You need to see when the scripted field populate the values means while issue creation the scripted field populate the value then at the issue creation you can use the copy field postfunction to copy value from scripted field to other custom field.

In same you can add this postfucntion on any other relavent transition

The scripted fields traverses linked issues, goes to the parent of each linked issue, and then grabs a field of each issue into a list. They would want it checked consistently for changes rather than on a transition. I believe the options are between an adaptivist listener or behavior. We cannot find any guidance on how to implement this, and our blind trials have failed. At the moment we are scrapping the json to get the values but would rather implement it within the software if possible.

@Alexander Rosado ,

I think you need to trigger this process whenever that field get changed 

So in that case you need to use Edit listener whenever issue is being edited for that custom field you need to run the script which will traverses linked issue and update the field
