Need Automation script for populating subset of values in a field from a parent issue

[John Funk]

Hi Javeria,

Can you describe your exact scenario with more information? 

[Javeria Mateen]

Hi John,

Parent Issue has Labels  say 'XYZ', 'ABC-123'. I need to copy the labels 'ABC-123' alone in the Child Issue when either Parent issue is created or edited.

My script is working fine until Updating the child when parent is created or updated, But I need to copy only a subset of labels. Any samrt issue features that I can make use of?

Can you share the automation rule that you have so far? 

[Javeria Mateen]

When field value- Components changes

    Issue filed condition- Feature( for edit or create)

    Then Create variable- QC with smart value {{issue.components.name}}

    Branch rule/related issues

         where issue type- (child)

         edit issue  with field values set from variable QC

[John Funk]

No, a screenshot of the actual rule please.

Where is the part where you are editing the issue to update the Components?
