Inherit CustomFields

Usage cases

You want to apply, for a Sub-Task with some of their Custom Field be updated with Parent Custom Field values.

How it works

By defining this Workflow Function in a Transition of your workflow, you are able to force some of Sub-Task's Custom Field to be updated with those of Parent Issue. 

Configuring the Feature

To configure the Inherit CustomFields  Post-Function , please follow these steps :

• Since this Workflow Function does not need to be associated with a screen containing the concerned CustomFields, the function can be added in any Workflow Transition.
  It might be:
  • A Common Transition,
  • Or a Global Transition.

If you want to keep these fields synchronized, it will be preferable to removed concerned CustomFields from the Edit Screen of the Sub-Task, and implement then in all transiitons.

• Add the Inherit CustomFields  Post-Function to any wanted transition.
  
  For more information on adding a Post Function in Workflow, please see JIRA: Adding a Post Function
  
  
  
• Its configuration allows you to specify which CustomFields have to be inerited from the Parent Issue.
  
  
• You will end up with a transition looking like:
