EPIC Automation

Jason Lane

Hi,

I have created an automation to trigger a new EPIC at the end of each month without issue however when I test this automation it continually asks me for 'Epic Name' as an error - I cannot see this as an option and wonder if I need to build some JSON code to populate this but I'm not 100% sure or clear - Is anyone aware of what to do?

Thanks

Hi Jason,

Yes, Epic Name is a mandatory field when creating an Epic. First check to see if the Epic Name field is actually on the Create screen used by that project for Epics. If not add it. Then it should show up for your as field to set.
