Copy values post function

This page describes a post function which allows to copy data between two fields type: provided by Jira and available in our app.

This post-function allows you to copy data from Customer and Organization Management fields to Jira custom fields and vice versa. This configuration bases on the field values collected for the Reporter profile.

Text field (multi line)	Paragraph Rich Text
Select List	Dropdown	Options on both sides have to be the same.
