Automation rule help

[Nikola Perisic]

Hi guys,

How I can build an automation rule for this case: When an Epic is linked to a Story/Task/Bug, copy the Epic’s labels to the issue, adding (not replacing) them?

Hi @Nikola Perisic,]

While I haven't tested it entirely through, wouldn't this work?

It's a quick draft, but I'm sure you can optimise. I chose the option to add/remove labels on the right hand side.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Walter Buggenhout 

Thanks for the reply! I've tried it, but it didn't work. It shows config change but when I see the linked issues, the labels are not copied..

It did work when the Parent field was changed, but can this be adjusted when you link an epic to story/task/bug, the epics' labels are copied to these issues?

@Walter Buggenhout I figured it out in the end, thanks!

Ah, ok ... I was just going to get back to you as I tested it and it seemed to work flawlessly in my test site.

I understand from your previous comment that it was a trigger issue / reference to the epic as a linked work item rather than a parent. Correct?
