How to create Epic with child issues from an Epic Template

[karine_aittaouit]

Hi

I would like to automatically insert child issues coming from an epic template while creating an Epic.

I know that we can use the CLONE button to create the new epic with all child issues (but there is a little refresh issue, we have to press F5 to entirely refresh the page to display the child issues)

I tried automation, but i have an issue while setting up the summary of the child issues. They retrieve in a list format the summary of all the child issues coming from the template (see the screenshot i have Task 1, Task 2 for both instead of having Task 1 for the first one and Task 2 for the second one)

Any ideas on how to retrieve the summary of each item ?

Thanks for your help !

Hello @karine_aittaouit 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Looking at your Create New action I notice that you are probably using the wrong smart value for the summary.

You have specified {{issues.summary}}

Try without the "s" at the end of "issues":  {{issue.summary}}

Click the 3 dots and set "Copy" instead of {{issue.summary}} and then select to copy from the trigger issue.

Hello @arielei 

Not working as the trigger issue is the created Epic so it will copy the summary of the created work item 

What I want is that for Epic 34 (screenshot) the summary of the child issues is "Task 1" and "Task 2" from my Epic modele :) 

Thanks !
