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

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

Configuration

Target issue

Choose the issue to be updated by choosing one of the following options:

  • Current issue
  • Parent issue
  • Sub-tasks
  • Sibling sub-tasks
  • Linked issues
  • Linked epic
  • Issues under epic
  • Sibling issues under epic
  • Set target issue manually (parser expression)

    The expression must either be a valid JQL expression or must return an issue list.

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.


If you want to clear a field, you could select the advanced text parsing mode and enter:

null


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.
