Copy epic link value to text box

[RichardA]

Hi Team,

if we select epic link value while creating story issue type, we need to copy epic link value and the same epic key(Epic issue key) to Linked_Value (Single text custom filed) after creating the story issue.

In my instance we don't have Automation Plugin and Copy field value post function as well.

So, can you help me how to copy field value from Epic Link to custom filed using script runner.

Could you please help me with this task?

Thanks.

Hi @RichardA 

Use the Behaviour feature to identify whether the data is present in Epic Link Field and if the field has value add the logic to copy the value from the Epic link to the Custom field (Linked_Value) you have created.

Thanks,

Hi @RichardA 

Try this and let me know if it's okay

Add the Behaviour and Epic Link as Field

def field = getFieldByName('Epic Link')
def fieldValue = field.getValue()
getFieldByName("Linked_Value").setFormValue(fieldValue)

 Thanks,
