Copy field value This post function allows you to copy field values from one or multiple issues which are returned by an issue list or a JQL query.

Field values can also be aggregated or calculated. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the JQL mode and the Issue list mode which are used to define the target list of issues to copy values from.
