How to link components and epic links

[Chaitanya B]

When component is selected then it automatically updates the epic link in the ticket to ensure it goes into the correct queue

Hi @Chaitanya B and welcome to the community!

You'd want to start the automation like this:

• TRIGGER: Field Value Changed with field Component

Without more understanding of your business logic that would establish component-epic mapping, I can think of a couple ways of doing this:

OPTION 1 - Dynamic Mapping

• Use the Lookup Issues action to capture the epic key based upon whatever logic you have. For example, if your epic name is the same as the component name:
  

  • Epic Name = {{issue.components}}

• Use the Issue Edit action to update the Epic Link field with the results of the lookup issues action above:

  • {{lookupIssues}}

Note - For this approach to work, you need to ensure that 1 and ONLY 1 result is returned from the Lookup Issues action

OPTION 2 - IF/Else Logic

If you don't have business logic that enables you to dynamically capture the epic, you could hard set it with If/Else conditions.  For example:

• If Component = Component A
  • Issue Update Epic Link with <Epic 1 Key>
• Else If Component = Component B
  • Issue Update Epic Link with <Epic 2 Key>
• Else If Component = Component C
  • Issue Update Epic Link with <Epic 3 Key>

mark thank you so much. I have used  this above option 2 it worked

[Levente.Szava]

I'd like to update the Components field when I change the field vaue of Epic links.

E.g.  We have a component   'TEST COMPONENT'

which has an epic 'TEST EPIC'

When I create a new user story and change the Epic link='TEST EPIC', I'd like the Components field to be updated to 'TEST COMPONENT'.

Can you please advice how can I achive that?
