type	info

In this case we cannot use the Inherit field values parameter in the sub-tasks creation post-function. Instead of it, we have to use an expression for each field that we want to copy into sub-task's clones. The expressions to be used is the following ones.

For Number and Date-Time fields:

Code Block

language	bash
linenumbers	true

first(fieldValue({issue.cfTemplateIssue}, issueKeysToIssueList(replaceFirst(^%, "^.*:", ""))))

For the rest of the fields:

Code Block

language	bash
linenumbers	true

toString(fieldValue(%{issue.cfTemplateIssue}, issueKeysToIssueList(replaceFirst(^%, "^.*:", ""))))
