Want to use workflow to check if a story has a field like Due Date but if empty get it from the epic due date field.  there are several other fields I would like to do the same.

Hi @Travis Sims 

Are you wanting to do this with the workflow on some condition or with an automation rule on the status transition?

Kind regards,
Bill

would like to do this with an automated rule.

Thanks for that information, and I believe you have outlined the rule with the steps you note:

• trigger on the transition,
• check the issue type is a Story,
• check the Due Date with a condition,
• and when empty, copy from the parent Epic.

Have you tried creating the rule, and if so, run into any challenges?
