Bulk change using smart values

Question

Hey,

I added an automation rule which adds the father's status to its subtasks using an automation rule for every transition.

The problem I have is that I need to update the subtasks which had been created previously to that rule. I'm trying to bulk change those issues using a smart value while editing, the smart value which worked fine in the automation is: {{issue.parent.status.name}}, but it doesn't work while bulk changing I receive a string.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

you can duplicate you rule and change the trigger to "Schedule".

Use JQL to include all issue you want to update.

Hey @Trudy P Claspill

My meaning is that I want this rule to auto change all the sub tasks which were created previously to that rule. My understanding is that only the sub tasks which are created after the rule will be affected by it and not the old one
