Variables are placeholders that are filled with actual values supplied by the system. Each variable refers specific value of the Jira instance while the issue is being created.
You can use variables in text fields with Set value and Default value.
Turn the variables on with the toggle and use the following formats:
[[value_name]]
- The user will enter the value in the additional dialog that will appear when Set Value rule will be applying.{{field_name}}
- The value from another field is automatically inserted into the variable. The value will be equal to the field value that is currently set on the same form.There are some limitations in terms of using variables for changes made on the issue view regarding the issue type. It’s related to Atlassian restrictions for an issue type on the issue view, therefore a value from an issue type on issue view won’t be updated.
