Hi there - is it possible to setup some sort of automation that automatically adds component fields to child issues once a parent component field has been added?

Hi @Tony Mercadante 

It'll be possible using Automation, but it depends what level the parents and children are at.

I've assumed below you only have Epic > Story > Sub-task, based on your Product Plan being listed as "Standard".

Epic > Story

  • Trigger: Field Value Changed
    • Field = Components
  • Condition: Issue Fields Condition
    • Field = Issue Type
    • Condition = equals
    • Value = Epic
  • Branch: Related Issues
    • Type = Children
      • Branch-Action: Edit Issue
        • Field = Components
          • COPY = Add Components from Trigger issue

---

Story > Sub-task

  • Trigger: Field Value Changed
    • Field = Components
  • Condition: Issue Fields Condition
    • Field = Issue Type
    • Condition = equals
    • Value = Story - or other relevant issue types
  • Branch: Related Issues
    • Type = Children
      • Branch-Action: Edit Issue
        • Field = Components
          • COPY = Add Components from Trigger issue

---

A few notes on this approach...

  • If children doesn't work for Sub-tasks, try the Branch type "Sub-tasks"
  • The COPY option is available through the breadcrumbs (...) next to the field entry area

---

These are just examples; you might need to modify the rules to meet your specific needs - but this should help move you forward :)
