automatic assignment of components in Epic and Task

[Anne Menninger]

Hey there,

I would like to create a rule where the Epic component ("AA"..) is automatically applied to the task.

The following rule has already been created, but it is not executable:

I'm grateful for any help!

Hi @Anne Menninger

your rule looks good to me. I was able to successfully copy components from an Epic with your rule. I have two guesses where the problem may be:

• Did you create an issue of type Task or accidentally another one (as I did in my tests)? 😏
• What are the details of your last rule? Did you also define it so that it add Components from the Epic issue?
  

I only have an English Jira at hand at the moment, but I guess you should be able to translate it accordingly.

If that still doesn't help, does the Audit log of the rule have some meaningful error message?

Cheers,
Matthias.

Hello @Anne Menninger 

What do you mean by the rule is not executable?

Does the rule get triggered?

Does it execute the tasks as expected?

Can you share with us the details of the Audit Log for the execution of the rule?

Can you show the details of the option you selected in the third step? I don't speak German, and I'm not getting a clear translation. Seeing the option you selected within the list of available options would be helpful.

Also, please show the details of the fourth step.
