When Resolving a Ticket I would like any child tickets to inherit certain fields from the parent

[Paul Moodie]

Hello all,

                 I am trying to create automation in Jira to cover the following scenario:

When a parent ticket transitions to 'resolved', I would like any child 'sub-tasks' to inherit selected "cascade type custom fields" and be updated to all the sub-tasks linked to the parent. I'm aware that with 'project automation' in Jira Service Desk, cascaded custom fields are not available in the standard drop downs and will therefore need to use a JSON. Has anyone created such an automation?

Hi Paul

I did something similar yesterday!  After much searching, I found the below question, the first answer helped me greatly.

That might be useful for you to get the required JSON.

Hope that helps,

Hi Liam

Thanks for coming back. This was really useful.

We've now managed to get it working - extract from JSON

{
"update": {
"Service": [
{
"set": {
"value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.Service.value}}",
"child": {
"value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.Service.child.value}}"
}
}
}
]
}
}

Thanks once again

Regards, Paul
