Layer sysytem

[chisato3.egashira]

In JIRA, when creating a three-tiered layer system, is there a feature that automatically updates the second and third layers' priority settings when the highest priority (top) layer is changed?

Hi @chisato3.egashira

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Jira doesn’t provide native functionality to copy priority changes across hierarchical levels automatically, parent → child → sub-task. Each issue’s priority is managed independently.

To achieve this kind of behavior, you would need to use Automation rules (for example, trigger on a parent priority change and update child issues) or an app like ScriptRunner for more advanced logic with Scripts and Listeners.

Thank you for this. I have to create automation rule and set triggers, right?

Dear @chisato3.egashira

Yes, do you want me to share an automation example,how to set that?

Hello and Welcome @chisato3.egashira 

Short answer: No without ScriptRunner, Automation, or a combination of both.
For example, I use a Script Listener to copy specific values, and that field then triggers additional automations.

Thank you so much.  It looks like I have to study more about customization, how far I can change first.  Your link is very helpful and let me try. Thanks!
