Copy the above JSON code in a file and save it as .json. Import it in JIRA to import the above rule.
Please note that it is not feasible to copy the value of any other custom field example "Select" field type to the Team field, as per the current structure of both field types. The exchange of values can only be possible with the "Teams" field with ID. As the select field holds ID in numeric, In contrast, the Teams field has a hexadecimal value as ID.
The ID of the value "TeamA" on the Select field is numeric: Custom field Select Type

"customfield_10054": {"self": "https://Myinstance.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/customFieldOption/10052", "value": "TEAMA", "id": "10052"}In contrast, the Teams field has a hexadecimal value as ID : Team field Type

{
"fields": {
"customfield_10001" : "b68cd80c-8ef2-4fe0-8g7a-40cd52b47b8d"
