> A workflow post-function that sets the value of a selected field of the current issue to the value of a User Property of the current user.

When you add this post-function to a transition and trigger the transition, the add-on copies the value of the specified user property for the current user to the selected destination field. The user property is used to store extra information about a user. These properties come from the `User properties editor `page in the `Add-ons` section. These properties are different from the `User Properties` you can edit from the` User Management` section. To add/edit user properties of a user, see the [Add/edit/delete user entity properties in User property editor](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466256416) page.
