Listeners
Each listener, listens to issue events (such as issue update, issue move, issue create or issue link) and synchronizes selected field values to other issues.
Field Sync provides 3 types of listeners:
- Sub-Task Listeners: Synchronize field values between parent issues and sub issues.
- Linked Issue Listeners: Synchronize field values between Jira issues that are linked with Jira issue links.
- Epic-Story Listeners: Synchronize field values between Epics and Stories.
- Portfolio Listeners: Synchronize field values between Portfolio parent and child issues linked by Jira Portfolio links.
You can create multiple instances of each listener type with different configurations.
Epic-Story listeners are available only if Jira Software is installed on your system.
Portfolio listeners are available only if Jira Portfolio is installed on your system.

Once you install Field Sync, a new section called "Field Sync Admin Section" is added to Administration >> Add-ons menu. To configure Field Sync, click on "Field Sync Settings".
