How Can I Set Epic Link when I manual trigger for Create Issue at Another Project

[홍종표]

Happy New Year.

A Project's Issue Custom Field (Select List)

and 

Project B's Epic

How Can I Match created new task's EpicLink and  Same name's Epic ??

Hi @홍종표 

Can I clarify the need here - is it:

• An issue is created using an Automation Rule
• In that rule is a custom select list with a list of Epics
• Depending on which option is selected, it should select the corresponding Epic

Is this correct?

If yes

• How many Epics options are there?
• Is "Epic Link" the Select List field?
• What is written in the Select List - is it the Epic's name?

yes It is correct.

1. maybe 4 ~ 10 epics.

2. Select List Field name is Platform. Epic Link is new Issues' epic.

3. Select List's item name equals Epic name.

Hi @홍종표 

Because a Select List is value based, and an Epic Link is Key based, I think it'd likely be easier to set this using IF/ELSE Conditions. It shouldn't be too bad if there's only 4-10 Epics to do this.

This would be a separate rule from the "Create Issue" rule - the rule would look something like...

• Trigger: Issue Created
• Condition 1: Issue Fields Condition
  • Field = Issue Type
  • Condition = equals
  • Value = Task
• Condition 2: If/Else Block
  • IF...
    • Condition: Issue Fields Condition
      
      • Field = Platform
      • Condition = equals
      • Value = Valista
    • Action: Edit Issue
      • Field = Epic Link
        • Value = RND-24
  • ELSE-IF...
    • Condition: Issue Fields Condition
      
      • Field = Platform
      • Condition = equals
      • Value = Linkmine
    • Action: Edit Issue
      • Field = Epic Link
        • Value = RND-25
  • ...etc (create another ELSE-IF section for each Epic)

---

A few notes on this rule...

• I've provided an example for Condition 1, but this Condition should uniquely identify the Tasks you need to add to the Epics
• To add the "ELSE-IF" second layer, you need to press "Add else" in the left-hand menu of your rule
• You'll need an "ELSE-IF" layer for every Platform/Epic combination
• Because another Automation Rule will activate this rule, you need to allow this to happen through the Rule Details
  • Check the box for the field - Check to allow other rule actions to trigger this rule. Only enable this if you need this rule to execute in response to another rule

Let us know if this works for you!

I can't understand Issue Create Trigger.

Hi @홍종표 

Just confirming from the above - is this rule working for you? Or do you have questions? :)
