Labels are not inherited when creating issues in Epic

[sh.cho]

Hi.

I'm working on a Kanban project managed by my company, and I created an automation that inherits the parent's label when I create an issue under Epic, but this automation is not working. My automation looks like this:

Trigger: Issue Created
Condition 1: Issue Type is not Epic
Branch Rule/Related Issues: Parent
Condition 2: Epic's Labels is not empty
Action: Edit Issue, Copy Labels from Epic's field (Add values)

When I tested with other fields (like reporters) it works fine. I wonder if there is a reason why only label doesn't work.

Hi @sh.cho and welcome to the Community!

The following seems to work for me:

Note how I used a smart value to check if there are any labels on the issue's parent Epic and how I don't use a branch, since I can do all editing from within the created issue directly.

Hope this helps!
