Repeating actions allow to provide text values for Jira system and custom fields. Excluding some basic fields, most of these fields, regardless of their type have simple text input in form. This is because the Repeating Issues app accept The Velocity Template Language (VTL) which provide the easiest, simplest, and cleanest way to incorporate dynamic content for field values.

...

Generally the VTL in Repeating Issues add-on app allow to

  • copy values from repeating source issue, e.g $sourceIssue.summary
  • calculate dates, e.g. $repeating.date.addDays(2).withHours(10).withMinutes(0)
  • calculate any values using conditions, e.g. #if( ${repeating.date.month} == 10)it's true!#{else}it's not!#end
  • copy current custom field value (for custom field inputs only): $!sourceIssue.getCustomFieldValue($this)

Please read Velocity references in field values documentation to learn the velocity context and available references in Repeating Issues add-on app templates.
