Default Component to Issue Type (and its child)

[Sapana Pandey]

Hi, 

How do I set default component for all issues created under and/or linked to certain Initiative?

For all issue types created under and/or linked to "Q4 SEC Filing" initiative to have "Q4 SEC Filing" component tagged automatically vs. manually updating while creating an issue.

@Sapana Pandey You can make use of JIRA automation to achieve this.

• Add on automation for issue Field value changed event.
• Choose the field value as "Parent Link"
• Define variable to save the parent key of epics
• Define branch rule to get the components of parent issue
• Define variable to save the parent component
• Update epic issue field with the above variable value

For the tasks and subtasks -->

Define another automation 

• issue created event
• Edit issue field
• Select component to copy from Epic issue for tasks types
• Select component to copy from Parent issue for subtasks types

Hello @Sapana Pandey 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You could use an Automation rule to set the Component field after the issue has been created.
