Automation to Copy cascade field values from Parent to Sub-task doesn't override the default value

Natalia Trofimov

The following advanced JSON block is not working if the subtask has the default values set on creation. It shows success but it doesn't work, the values are not copying and keeping the default values. The automation using this JSON works though if you update the parent, then the values are copying to sub-tasks.

the select cascade field is common for other projects so I don't want to change the default value for subtasks

{
  "update": {
    "Sample Cascade": [
      {
        "set": {
          "value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.Sample Cascade.value}}",
          "child": {
            "value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.Sample Cascade.child.value}}"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Hi @Natalia Trofimov 

Would you please show images of your complete rule and audit log details for context?  That may help the community to offer ideas.  Thanks!

Until then, if you are using the issue created trigger I wonder if this is a timing issue with the event firing before the data is available.  The way to check that is to add a Re-fetch action after the trigger to slow the rule a bit.

Kind regards,
Bill
