How can I use Automation to copy labels from Epic to related stories without over-writing labels?

[Dan Leatherwood]

In cases where a story already has existing labels and we want to add/append the story to include a label from its related Epic.  How can I write an automation rule to accomplish this?

Hi @Dan Leatherwood You could do it with an automation like this:

Note - The key is that you want to make sure Add/Remove values is set as shown in the screenshot.  That will ensure you're only adding a label.  You could get fancy with smart values as well in the event that you remove a label from the epic.

Thank you Mark!  Using the Add/Remove values option gave us the results we needed. I appreciate your help!
