Copy Property post function

Active Directory Attributes Sync app provides an additional post function named Copy Property. This post function allows for copying Active Directory attributes to selected custom fields.

Adding post function

Steps

To add the Copy Property post function:

1. Go to Project Settings > Workflows > Post Functions.
2. Click Add post function.
3. Select Deviniti [Active Directory Attributes Sync] - Copy Property post function.
4. Click Add copy.

   

5. Set necessary parameters for the post function:

• Source user: Select the user, for example assignee, reporter, current user, or user selected from the custom field (type: user). Multi-user picker is supported as well.
• Attribute to copy: Select the attribute to copy (specific field name in Jira).
• Target custom field: Select a custom field to which the selected attribute will be copied. You can use:
  • User Picker (single user)
  • User Picker (multiple users)
  • Text Field (single line)
  • Text Field (multi-line)
  • Select List (single choice)
  • Select List (multiple choices)
  • Organizations
  • Request participants
• Overwrite existing value: This parameter is visible only when the custom field type contains a list of users. Select to overwrite existing value in the list. Deselect to add value to the existing list.
  Info

  Keep in mind, when you are selecting a user-containing attribute (e.g Manager), the Source and Target custom fields must be of the same type. You can’t set the same field both as the source and the target.
  Note

  To use the user picker custom field, Contains user must be selected in the field configuration in the Connections section. For more information, see Working with connection.

  To make creating shared issues easier, select the Request participants option. It allows for adding more users to the issue.
