This post function allows you to copy field values from one or multiple issues which are returned by an issue list or a JQL query.

Field values can also be aggregated or calculated. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the JQL mode and the Issue list mode which are used to define the target list of issues to copy values from.


Configuration

Select the target fields that will be set and the source values for each of them. The following options are available:

OptionDescription
Copy field from selected issues

The value(s) found in the issues specified in the next parameter "Issues to copy from" will be copied to the target field as a comma separated list.

Since you are copying the values of potentially multiple issues returned by a JQL query or an issue list 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)

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.



Enter a JQL query or an issue list and optionally use field codes to define the target list of issues the values will be copied from.
