The Update fields post function automatically updates a single or multiple issue fields on a target issue.

Additional field values can be taken over or manually set using parser expressions. 

Configuration

Target issue

Choose the issue to be updated and the following options are available:

  • Current issue
  • Parent issue
  • Sub-tasks
  • Sibling sub-tasks
  • Linked issues
  • Linked epic
  • Issues under epic
  • Sibling issues under epic

    The output has to be an issue key.

Fields

Set or clear values for specific fields.

In the popup after choosing the field to be added, you can select to set the value in two ways:

  • Copy field from current issue (the value from the selected field will be copied over to the new issue)
  • Set field value manually (parser expression)

You also have the option of write protection,

  • Do not overwrite existing values.
Additional options

You have the following two options:

  • Send email notification

    Send email notifications according to the associated notification scheme.

  • Update issues immediately

    Each field update results in a dedicated "Issue Updated" event and issue history entry.

Conditional execution

You can optionally specify a logical expression to define the circumstances (or conditions) under which the post function should be executed.

The result of the logical expression must return a boolean value of either:

  • true → the post function will be executed
  • false → the post function will not be executed

Using the conditional operator, even complex or multi-layered conditions can be constructed.
