JIRA project automation to set "Epic Link" for newly created JIRA issues (Story)

[Keishi Susumu]

I am using JIRA project automation and I was able to set up to attach a label when the issue gets created with a specific summary.

With the same rule, I would like to add so that existing "Epic Link" to be attached.

I tried

{
    "fields": {
        "Epic Link": "<EPIC LINK NAME"
    }
}

 but this did not work. Please advise

Hi @Keishi Susumu ,

welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Please try to use Epic issue key, something like

{
    "fields": {
        "Epic Link": "ABC-123"
    }
}

Will the Epic issue be always the same? Or you need some logic to fill it in?
