Hey @Ramesh Krishnan

You may create a rule like below:

Trigger:

  • Work Item Transitioned:
    • From:To Do
    • To: In Progress
  • Condition:
    • IF: Work type : Epic
  • Action:
    • Edit Work Item:
      • Story Points: 1
      • priority: Medium

If you've already created a rule but it's not working as expected, please share the details so we can suggest the next steps.

Thanks!
