How to trigger an automation when the Epic is set or changed in Next Get?

Question

Are there any updates on this?  The fields "Epic Link", "Epic Name", and "Parent Link" all appear to be Jira Classic fields.  Next-Gen uses the "parent" field to refer to the ID of a parent issue (subtask -> story/task or story/task-> epic), but I don't see this in the options for "Field value changed" trigger.

Epics are definitely supported in Next-Gen.  They are handled using a different field (the same one as for sub-tasks) but I don’t see why that should stop them from working with Automations.

Hello @chadd,

Thank you for reaching out to Community!

Currently, Epic information such as name, color, link, and status is not available in next-gen projects.

There are feature requests suggesting improvements for that:

Next Gen project - ability to add Epic link when creating an issue

As a Jira Software user, I want to be able to add issues to epics in Next-Gen (Agility) projects from the issue creation view

As a Jira Software user, I want to be able to see the Epic information from next-gen projects in the search view

Please, click on vote and watch to receive updates about the features.

Kind regards,
Angélica
