This post function can be used allows you to copy a field value from multiple issues to the current issue. Since potentially multiple values will be returned, the values can be aggregated or calculated.

By default, the field values from linked issues ' fields will be read. If sub-tasks should also be taken into account, the checkbox (see below) corresponding additional option has to be checked.

from selected issues

The value(s) found in the issues specified through the filters will be copied to the target field as a comma separated list.

Since you are copying the values of potentially multiple linked issues or sub-tasks JWT can aggregate values, and offers additional options depending on the type of source field.

Calculated values

For date and date-time fields you can additionally choose to only return the:

  • Earliest date value among those being returned.
  • Latest date value among those being returned.

For numeric fields you can automatically return the following aggregated values:

  • Sum of values: sum of all the values being returned.
  • Lowest value: minimum value among those being returned.
  • Highest value: maximum value among those being returned.
  • Average value: arithmetic mean of values being returned.

When updating the Priority field you can additionally choose to only return the:

  • Highest priority value among those being returned.
  • Lowest priority value among those being returned.


Set field value manually (parser expression)

  1. Enter the Expression

And as an additional option, you can choose Write protection to not overwrite existing values.

Set the value of the target field using an expression and optionally use field codes. The Parsing modes differ depending on the data type of the target field. 

You can either choose from the Advanced text mode or the Numeric mode.

Clear field valueChoose this option to clear the value of the target field. This option is not available for the Summary field.

titleFilter project

Filter your project by choosing from one of the following options:

  • Any project
  • Current project
  • Any but current project
UI Expand
titleFilter by issue link type

If you choose to further filter the issues the values will be copied from, all filter criteria will be "and concatenated".

Values will only be copied from issues meeting all criteria will be considered.

Filter by project

Optionally specify specific projects, the linked issues or sub-tasks) must or must not belong to. The following options are available:

OptionDescription

Any project

By default, the linked issues or sub-tasks can be in any project.

Current project

Choose this option to make sure that all linked issues or sub-tasks are in the same project as the current issue.

Any but current project

Choose this option to make sure that all linked issues or sub-tasks are not in the same project as the current issue.


Filter by issue link type

If you select specific link types, all linked issues must be linked using the selected types. If issues linked with other link types are found, the condition will fail.

This filter is mandatory. If you only want to copy values from sub-tasks, leave this filter blank and check the additional option "Include sub-tasks matching the specified filter criteria".


Filter by issue type

You can optionally filter the issues to copy the values from by issue types. If you select values all linked issues or sub-tasks must be of any of the selected issue types


Filter by status

You can optionally filter the issues to copy the values from by status. If you select values all linked issues or sub-tasks must be in any of the selected statuses


Filter by field value

Optionally limit the issues you want to copy values from by their field values. To achieve this you must enter an expression in Logical mode. The expression must return  true or false.

Examples: 

ExpressionDescription


Code Block
languagebash
linenumberstrue
%{seed.issue.assignee} != null


All issues must be assigned to a user. If unassigned sub-tasks are found, the condition will fail.

UI Text Box
typeinfo

Values in linked issues or sub-tasks have to be referenced by their seed field codes.



Code Block
languagebash

%{issue.dueDate} <= %{seed.issue.dueDate}


All issues must have a due date of equal to or later than the current issue's due date.

titleAdditional options


OptionDescription

Include sub-tasks matching the specified filter criteria

Choose this option, if you want to also or only copy the values from sub-tasks.

Read also subtasks fulfilling condition on issue type, status and project -

This option only makes sense when the current issue itself is not a

subtask
  • Read also sibling subtasks fulfilling condition on issue type, status, and project - Sibling subtasks are understood as subtasks with the same parent as the current issue. This option only makes sense when the current issue is itself a subtask
  • Read linked issues and subtasks recursively - Issues and subtasks transitively linked will also be read, provided they fulfill stated filtering conditions. Issues are read recursively without depth limit, but each selected issue is read-only once
  • Read also current issue - Current issue will be included in the issue selection, i.e., current issue's field value will also be read

    • sub-task.

    UI Text Box
    typeinfo

    This option or the next option must be checked, if you leave the link type filter blank.


    Include sibling sub-tasks matching the specified filter criteria

    Choose this option, if you additionally want to copy the values from siblings of the sub-tasks that match the filter criteria.

    UI Text Box
    typeinfo

    This option or the previous option must be checked, if you leave the link type filter blank.


    Include recursively linked issues or sub-tasks matching the specified filter criteria

    Recursively linked issues or sub-tasks (e.g. which are linked to a directly linked issue) will also be included independent of the linking depth.

    Include current issue

    The value of the current issue will be included in the output.
