Can a story/task inherit details from epic?

[Rethabile Morena]

Good day,

Please advise if a story can inherit certain field information from the linked epic?

Meaning once we capture the epic name on the story/task issue, certain information from the epic will automatically be captured on the story/task.

Regards

You could write a Scripted Field with the Script Runner Plugin for that - an example for displaying the Due Date of the Epic would be:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
def customFieldManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getCustomFieldManager();
def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "Epic Link"}
        
def issueManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getIssueManager();
issueManager.getIssueObject(issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf).getKey()).getDueDate()

Nice answer, though I will use ComponentAccessor instead of the Component Manager.
