Synchronize additional fields when promoting an idea to an existing feature

Handling of duplicate ideas has been a very tricky thing. The way we solve this is by promoting multiple ideas to the same feature, making the feature a kind of 'control point' where all of the ideas come together.

The problem is that this introduces a lot of manual labour to keep fields in the feature up to date against the fields in the idea - namely tags and custom fields that we use (customer asking is the biggest one)


Ideal flow:

  • Select a set of fields in the idea that map to fields in the feature

  • whenever a new idea is promoted to an existing feature, this subset of fields would be added to the fields in the feature

Another option:

  • Create an automation that is triggered by 'when an idea is promoted to a feature'

  • Add values from field X in the idea to field Y in the feature

This would reduce a HUGE amount of manual work that currently goes into keeping these fields up to date

  • Attach files
