Allow to inherit values from other fields #114

Open

Description

@codescape

As a user I want to be able to inherit values from the parent issue to other fields of the newly created subtasks. For example a story with the custom user field Developer should be able to be inherited to assign the subtasks.

Possible solution would be something like this:

- new subtask using the value of the story's custom field Developer
  assignee: @inherit(customfield(Developer))
- new subtask using the assignee of the story for a custom field Developer
  customfield(Developer): @inherit(assignee)

This is a customer feature request:

Possible syntax alternatives:

syntax example for standard field example for custom field +/- simplicity +/- unintended usage
@inherit(fieldname) @inherit(author) @inherit(customfield(Developer)) (-) (+)
@inherit:fieldname @inherit:author @inherit:customfield(Developer) (-) (+)
@fieldname @author @customfield(Developer) (+) (-)
${fieldname} ${author} ${customfield(Developer)} (+) (0)
@{fieldname} @{author} @{customfield(Developer)} (+) (0)

Tasks

  • decide about syntax
  • implement
  • update documentation for syntax
