Is it possible to copy custom fields from "demand" to project ?

ammar_k · 7 hours ago

Hello,
we've added some custom fields to pm_prject, and added the same fields ( same names) to the demande table.
is it possible to copy those fields from demand to project while using the ui action "create project" ?

thank you

@ammar_k

there is no property etc which controls this.

the fields to copied are hard-coded and not controller from system property

2 ways

1) update the OOTB script to add your custom fields

OR

2) use before insert BR on project table to set your custom fields from Demand (Recommended way)

Hi @ammar_k ,

You can’t achieve this with configuration alone the out-of-box Create Project only maps standard fields. The cleaner approach is to add a before-insert BR on pm_project that queries the source demand and sets your custom fields, so you don’t have to modify the OOTB UI Action.
