Copying custom fields across issues under an epic

BrentBot

I need a way to copy custom field values across issues under an epic, but the issues are not necessarily linked to each other. The idea is that once story 1 is status `approved`, the fields copy down to story 3

The structure is as follows:

EPIC

story 1 << values exist here

story 2

story 3 >> copy values to this story

Hello @BrentBot

As we do not intend to copy the custom fields to all the stories within the Epic, we need to have a connection/ link between the stories to which the fields are required to be copied.

If this link can be defined, then the Automation rule will help in copying the fields from Story 1 to Story 3.

There is no way to have the system look for a specific issue under the same epic?

Hello @BrentBot

The system can look for specific issues under the epic but we need to define a condition that will help execute this across different epics.

The rule will just need to look for a specific issue type

the rule will be something like:

when an issue is transitioned to status `approved`

and that issue type equals `discovery`

Then certain fields will transfer values down to the issue type `presentation design`

these two issues will not be linked to each other under the `epic`

Hello @BrentBot

This can be accomplished by using Automation. The trigger can be set as Issue Transition to the required state, validated for issue type, and then the content can be copied.

Please let me know if you need help with the exact rule level details.
