Hello @Benedicte 

On action : Edit work item 

Choose More options and add this json 

Depending on your configuration, xxxx is the ID of the Team field  

{
"fields": {
"customfield_xxxx": "{{issue.parent.customfield_xxxx}}"
}
}

Or you can try this approach if you are not familiar with how to find a custom field ID.

{
"fields": {
"Team": "{{issue.parent.Team}}"
}
}

Hi @Benedicte 

Both option from @Duc Thang TRAN work.

For more visibility and easy relation, I should use the option:

{
"fields": {
"Team": "{{issue.parent.Team}}"
}
}

You don't need JSON. Is not a custom field.

You can edit the created task like this:

Action: Edit issue fields → select the Team field.

In the value, enter:

{{issue.parent.fields.Team}}


This makes the task automatically inherit the Team field from the parent.

As I said, {{issue.parent.fields.Team}} works. It returns the teams id, which you need to update the teams field.
