Additional fields

Optionally set additional field values. 

In the popup after clicking the Add button you can select to set the value in various ways:

  • Copy field from current issue

The value from the selected field will be copied over to the new issue.

When copying a null/none value to a custom field which has defined default values, the default values will be set.
No check will be done when trying to copy a null value to a field which cannot be set to null (e.g. Resolution).

For certain fields you need to copy over the field value ID instead of the actual text value. If you use the field dropdown, the respective field code will be pre-populated and has a format of "Field name ID"
