How the field's values are synchronize between Parent-Child issues in JIRA

Abhipsa Mohapatra

I have EPIC issue-type & EPICWorkflow.

 

• Here there are 2 issues in EPIC are created from the above two marked transition.
• The fields are distributed as below. When Stories are created then the related values are synchronized from EPIC to that child story.

EPIC                          Story1                                Story2

CF1                           CF3                                   CF1

CF2                           CF5                                   CF2

CF3                           CF6                                   CF3

CF4                                                                    CF6

CF5

CF6

 

My requirement is:

If i will change the field values in stories & save it, then the corresponding field values of Stories & EPIC are changing accordingly.

Example:

Here if i will change the CF3 & CF6 in Story1 then the same field's values should updated in the EPIC & Story2 as well.

 

So if anyone can suggest, please reply.

You will need to find or write a listener that picks up issue create change events on the Epic and changes, checks the data matches on the epic and then copies it down to the stories where you need it.

In fact, it might be better to take a different approach, and instead of a listener duplicating data, use "scripted fields" to show the data from the Epic, rather than having to edit issues on every change.

I would use one of the scripting add-ons to do this - Scriptrunner won't have any problems doing it, you might struggle with the others
