Copying subsystem field to subtask automatically

I now believe it to be due to incorrect requirement section

requirements: {
 Subsystem: {
 type: entities.enum.fieldType
 },
 SubtaskOf: {
 type: entities.IssueLinkPrototype,
 name: 'Subtask',
 outward: 'parent for',
 inward: 'subtask of'
 }
 }

It's a bit strange that the built in rule to update the subsystem field uses the enum type when the default type for the subsystem is the ownedField type. I did update the requirement section to require the type to be ownedField instead. But no change in the error message.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

That was probably me that messed up the code I was posting as I tried replace the EnumField with ownedField and then reverted back to enum.

I thought the names should come from here:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/standalone/Supported-Custom-Field-Types.html#enumerated-types

But I can see that the names of the fields in the requirements should not be the ones from the documentation? EnumField vs enum in the docs?

Anyway. I reverted the changes and it is still the same problem (which is the reason I stated editing in the first place). My workflow uses the default type of the subsystem which is the ownedProperty but I'm allowing more than one entry. Still has no idea how to make this play nice together.

Thomas,

Indeed, the names are different, and you may find the correspondence here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/incloud/requirements.html#requirements-properties.

As for the workflow issue, there is an additional property in requirements, which is 'multi': it is 'false' by default, meaning that the field accepts only one entry. For your case you need just to add the property to the requirement:

    Subsystem: {
      type: entities.EnumField.fieldType,
      multi: true
    }

I see!

Thanks for helping out. It seems to work now *thumbs_up* :)
