Introduction
The Lookup Manager for Jira Cloud allows the user to set an issue field based on the value of another field in a project.
Example
I have a project, Jira Project Inventory (PROJINV), which stores the manager for each Jira Project. It has the following fields:
Summary
Reporter
Project Picker
Then I have another project, Service Desk (SD), in which people can raise requests to add themselves into the role of the project.
I have created the Lookup Manager: Update Issue Field post function.
Now, when the ticket is created and user has selected a project (e.g. Lookup Table ) for the Project Picker Field,
the Lookup Manager will
Use the fields in the SD ticket to compose a JQL.
project = PROJINV and "Project Picker[Project Picker (single project)]" = "Lookup Table" order by updated DESC
Then take the corresponding fields in the matching PROJINV issue (e.g . Reporter) to populate another field in the SD (e.g. set the Assignee field)
