How can I add a parent to the issues created? From the rule I have created wouldn't help with dropdown of epic(parent) to list all the issues under it in timeline. How can I improve the rule to actually add a parent

Hi @Ruchitha Kumar 

If an issue is created , add a condition that checks which label is set on the issue, based on the label set the parent of an issue to a specific Epic.

Use IF/ELSE conditions for this.

Your automation links the issue to another issue but won't set a parent.

A parent needs to be to a specified already existing Epic in the system
