Automation - update the field Team on children

[sam]

Hi

I'm trying to make an automation to update the Team of all children issues when updating the value.  For example; if I update the team of an Epic, I'd like all the children to get the new team as well.  I keep getting json error:

Error editing work items
DPT-136 (Team id 'JsonData{data={id=1c2de3cb-62c0-4f81-81da-9a8a785938a4}}' is not valid. (customfield_10104)),

This is my rule:


{
   "update": {
       "customfield_10104": {
           "id": "{{parent.customfield_10104.id}}"

       }
   }
}

Rule:

Seems to be pretty simple, so not sure why it doesnt work???

TIA!

Hello @sam 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

If you are using the native Team field try this:

{
   "fields": {
       "Team":  "{{triggerIssue.Team}}"

   }
}

Hi Sam - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

It might just be a syntax thing - try putting {{issue.parent in the first part.

Also, take a look at other guidance here: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-articles/Two-ways-to-update-the-Team-field/ba-p/2567910
