JMWE How do I calculate the issue type?

Sigrid Schoepel

I cannot find an example from JMWE that is close to what I want to do. (I am not a programmer so I do a lot by example and error.)

 

I have bugs and features in one project and when someone hits a step in the workflow they have to decide if they want to copy the bug or feature to a different project. I want to use create issue once to clone the issue. The bug should be created/cloned as a bug and the feature should be created/cloned as a feature. The issue types are the same across the projects.

What would be the right syntax to detect a bug issue type and assign the new issue the bug issue type?

Hi @Sigrid Schoepel 

in the Create Issue(s) post function, under Destination -> Issue Type, select "Calculated" and use this as the value:

{{ issue.fields.issuetype.id }}

Hi @Sigrid Schoepel ,

Based on what you have indicated here, I have to wonder if using automation might be a better solution for you. The one unknown for me centers around your "...they have to decide if they want to copy the bug or feature to a different project.". What is the criteria for making this decision? When they decide to proceed with the clone? further, might I inquire as to what is driving the clone altogether? The reason I ask is that it might help me form the best answer to your question.
