Copy attachments
Use it to define configurations in order to copy or move attachments to the newly created issue.
Tip: You might choose 'Move Attachments added during Transition'. The user then adds some attachments on the transition screen of the origin issue.
However, since they are moved to the newly created issue, it feels as if he added the attachments to the new issue.
...
| Note |

Conditional copying attachmentsConditional copying attachment (controlled by custom field) is always only checked for the issue in transition regradless of whether the issue in transition is a source or destination. |
Initial mandatory values for the new

issue
Here you must configure some always mandatory fields for an issue. These are some
...
basic
...
fields of Jira. Be aware that your Jira configuration might have additional required fields (you should set them all by Copy Field Section)
...
.
...
Additionally, the summary will always be copied from the origin issue to the new issue. The reporter of the new issue will always be set to the user who triggered the current transition (and thus this post function). However, you might overwrite them again later with Copy from the Origin Issue to the New Issue.

Example
Let's say you are a Hiring Manager and you are onboarding a new Marketing Assistant.
...
Your tasks to complete the onboarding
...
could include:
Create a new
...
contract.
Order a new computer.
First, you create your origin issue which you’ll call Hiring a Marketing Assistant.
...
Instead of manually creating linked issues and copying/setting field values,
...
JSU’s set of Operations can help automate these tasks.
On adding the
...
Create Linked Issue
...
post
...
function to the "In progress" transition, configure the fields you prefer with the help of the
...
three JSU operations:
Copy a field value from the origin issue to a new linked issue
Copy the value from one field to another field within the origin issue, and
Set the value of a field in a new linked issue
First, you can copy a field from the origin to the new issue. Let's copy the assignee of the task to the assignee of the sub-task.
...
Then, you can copy a value from a field of the origin issue to another field of the origin issue. We'll try it by copying the summary to the description prepending it with a dash.
...
Configure the last operation by setting a value for the summary of the new issue. We'll set it to "Create contract"
When you are done with your configuration, add your post function. You can do the same for as many sub-tasks as you want to have automatically created. Finally, publish your workflow and go back to your issue.
...
Move it to in progress and see the magic of
