Add label based on parent label

Question

I'm trying to add a label to a newly created child issue based on whether the parent issue has that label.

Problem I'm having is that Jira keeps trying to update the Parent Issue's Label, not the newly created Child Issue's Label.

This is what Rovo setup for me. I'll write it out here in English since it's in German:

1. Create Issue

--BRANCH--

2. For: Parent

3. Label contains one of "TIN-DP-PLATFORM-WORK"

4. Then: Edit Issue Field Label (Add: "TIN-DP-PLATFORM-WORK")

Looks from first glance like it should work but as said, it keeps trying to edit the parent issue's label. The parent issue already has the label. I want it to add it to the child issue.

Thanks for any help

Hi @timothy_higgs_extern

Create your automation like this:

* trigger: issue created
* smart values condition: check if the parent label is present* first value: {{issue.parent.labels}}
* condition: contains
* second value: TIN-DP-PLATFORM-WORK

* action: edit issue
select the labels field from the dropdown, and at the right under ... select ADDREMOVE and then add TIN-DP-PLATFORM-WORK in the Values to add option of the field

Hi @Gor Greyan

This won't work, as this then will always set the label, as a branch runs in parallel.
