Coping completed Form to a Automation created Request Type using Automation
Asked by lapacquah.bryant:

Hello,

Can we copy a completed **Form**, from one Request Type (1), to the Issue View of another Request Type (2), using Automation? The Request Types are in two different projects.

I tried to use copy **Form** however, its not coping in the newly created request ticket, using Automation.

Where can I find the **Automation for Jira** , Issue View? I noticed on the Request Type I want to copy **Form** from does have a **Form** attached. I am not able to get it to copy using Automation. See a portion of Automation rule below.

Thank you.

Have you consider when an issue is created utilizing the FORM setup that Save the Form as a PDF and attached to the issue. Afterward, you can use automation to copy the attached Form to another project's issue as needed.

Here is the reference link - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-send-jsm-form-pdfs-as-an-email-attachment-to-specific-users-using-automation-1167830111.html>

See image below on the Settings tab to enable the attachment function -

Hope this helps.

I was able to attach a Form. However what I would like is to populate the information from within the Form onto the Automation for Jira created Issue.

What I found was you can only use '**Copy'** or '**Attach**" Form within a Single project. Trying to figure out how to get information from one project to another.

Would adding Form to the project that is tied to the issue created by Automation for Jira work?

Thank you

Since the FORM is used in your project A in project creation, I am assuming that the FORM's elements (some of them) are mapped to the project A's issue's field. If that was the case, then your automation rule can be designed to access project A's issue's fields and copy them into your project B's issue in addition to just copying project A's issue's attachment for project B's issue.

This also assumed that the same issue's fields and their context are used in both projects.

Hope this helps.

Best, Joseph

1. For the first question when you say Issues field, which "Field" where would I check? T**he reason I ask is because when I check the Fields section of project A, there are a few fields missing in this section. When I review the Screen via Issue Type I see all fields mapped to project A's.**
2. If that was the case, then your automation rule can be designed to access project A's issue's fields. Copy them into your project B's issue: **Question -****Are you talking about using Automation Action "Then: Create a new" to "Copy" fields via "Choose Fields to set"? If yes, these are showing on project's B ticket, however under the Details section vs Issue View (in the middle). Is there a way to get them on the ++*Automation for Jira*++"Issue View"?**
3. In addition to just copying project A's issue's attachment for project B's issue. **Are you referring to using the Automation Action: Attach forms? After mapping fields, do you thing the Copy forms can work?**

Thank you
