Automation rule: Create new story under other existing Epic

[Yahya Aliyev]

Dear Community,

The case is the following:

I have 2 epics: Recruitment and Onboarding

I want the rule to perform the way, so whenever I change the status of Story under the Recruitment Epic to Done, it should create a new story under the Onboarding Epic.

The trigger is obviously "When work item is transitioned" and I chose there the desired status. After I tried to look up the issue and branched with JQL to find the Epic with its key, but the build doesn't work.

What are the possible ways to perform this rule?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Yahya, welcome to the Atlassian community!

First, can you share the automation so we can take a look?

The Onboarding Epic is always the same ?

[Yahya Aliyev]

Yes, the Onboarding epic is the same all the time.

In fact, I just found out the answer, and it was easy all this time, but it wasn't visible due to the design of the field.

If you take a look at the red square, it says type to find value.

It's a reflex, whenever you see a dropdown menu, you click it and try to choose from the given options.

I just typed my Epic key here, and it works perfectly.

Also, thank you for replying asap to my question.

No problem.

I'm glad you found the anwser
