The Copy a parsed text to a field post function is a general purpose tool for setting almost any kind of field (text, select, radio button, multi-select, checkboxes, cascading select, multi-cascading select, user, multi-user, dates, date-time, number, etc). Although, in the case of field types Number, Date, Date-Time and Priority (when using associated numeric value) it’s usually preferable to use post-function Mathematical and date-time expression calculator, since you can enter complex math and time expressions.

Choosing the suitable target field you can also change issue reporter, assignee, due date, status, priority, resolution, original estimate, remaining estimate, time spent, labels, epic link, etc.

In this documentation and the post function configuration you will notice the symbol ( * ) next to some parameters, it means that this field is mandatory and shall not be left empty. Fields without the symbol are optional.

Basic configuration*

Below you will find a detailed description of each parameter of the basic configuration of the function.

Target field*

Select the field to be written with the resulting parsed text.

Expression*

Enter a plain text and optionally use field codes to insert field values.

The field code link in the app is linked to the JWT home page, it would be better if it was linked to the Field codes page directly.

Additional options

You have the following two options (multi-choice is possible):

  • Write protection - Do not overwrite the target field if it's already set
  • Update issue immediately - The field update results in a dedicated "Issue Update" event and issue history entry
Conditional execution

Enter a condition (Logical/boolean condition) using the JWT expression parser - full feature list syntax.

You can even logically link and gather conditions in expressions as you like in order to map more complex conditions.

The post function will only be executed if the condition is met (returns true).

Run as

Choose which user* will be used to execute this post function. By default it is set to the Current user.
