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.

Customer and Organization Management for Jira Service Management provides an additional post function named Copy values. 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.

In the table below, you can find what Jira custom field types can be mapped to Customers and Organizations Management fields.

Jira custom fields	Customers and Organizationsfields	Additional information
Jira custom fields	Customer Details fields (for customers and organizations)
Text field (single line)	Short Description Paragraph Rich Text Link Number Email
Text field (multi line)	Paragraph Rich Text
Select List	Dropdown	Options on both sides have to be the same.
Checkbox	Checkbox	Options on both sides have to be the same.
Date Picker	Date

You can choose from fields related to reporter or organization. When you choose from organization fields, make sure the reporter belongs to the organization you want to copy values from.
