I want to create my story in a different project from the epic

Question

I have a project for all of my epics.

My epic has a component that specifies the project that it belongs to (used for filtering).

After I create an epic I want any story created within the epic to automatically be set to a different project (based on the epic component).

How do I do this using automation?

I can see how to test the component when a story is created but can't see how to set the project.

I was hoping to find an answer with this question, but it seems like there is no easy way but to create the issue separately and then link it to the Epic.

One of the reasons for having all epics in 1 project is to make use of the Road Map and be able to show the progress and timeline for all epics.  Having them in separate projects doesn't seem to allow this.

It also allows for easy cross-project epics to be centralized instead of having it in one project but then having tickets in a different project.

Just a few of the reasons.

Thanks for the replies and link.

OOTB Automation does not support moving an issue to another project. Here is a thread you might find interesting. Nic provides some insight here and mentions there are apps that could help you achieve this. I'm still not sure why you wouldn't create the issue in the correct project and simply link the right Epic in your 'epic container project'. Of course I don't really need to understand it either. ;-)
