Can a subtask inherit the component of the story?

[Michael Arndt]

So if a story is assigned a component I have to go through and assign the component to each subtask. Is there a way to have it inherit the story's component as I add subtasks but allow me to change or remove components as needed?

Hello,

You would need an app for it. There are multiple apps available: Power Scripts, ScriptRunner, Automation for Jira and other apps.

If you want to use the Power Scripts app, you could create a listener for the Issue Update event with a code like this:

string[] subKeys = subtasks(key);

for (string k in subKeys) {

  %k%.components = components;

}
