Auto Updating Fields in Epics 9parent Tickets)

[Darren Ford]

I am trying to write a rule that automatically updates the BRAG-Status field value in a parent ticket (epic) so it mirrors the BRAG-Status field value of it's child ticket (user story).  So if the BRAG-Status is changed on the child ticket, from green to Red, the parent tickets BRAG-Status is automatically updated from green to red.  Anyone know if that's possible?  Thx

Hi @Darren Ford 

Yes this is possible.  You would trigger off the change in the child ticket, store the field value and find it's epic and then edit the epic field value.

Thank you.  I Have never written an automation rule before as complete novice. Any idea what that rule would look like?
