I want to set up an automation rule for * Rule 1 --- if a field value of sub task A changes, a new sub task B with summary 'xyz' gets created under the same parent * Rule 2 --- if an assignee of sub task A is changed, then sub task B with summary 'xyz' copies the assignee from sub task A (which is the trigger) I've already setup the automation for Rule 1 successfully. However, not able to set for Rule 2. Have been working on it since 2 days, but no result. Please help !!!

It is still not working for me PFA the screenshot. Now the search validate query gets disabled.

Oh ok, I see, you need to add {{ }} around issue.parent.key: {{issue.parent.key}}

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

How to copy assignee from one sub task to another under same parent ?

Hi @Vishakha Dahra,

The following rule should meet your needs:

You may also need to enable the option "Check to allow other rule actions to trigger this rule" in the rule details menu:

Hope this helps!

Hi @Manon Soubies-Camy
Thanks for helping. I've tried to run the rule as you have mentioned , but getting the following error:
The issue key 'ISSUE.PARENT.KEY' for field 'parent' is invalid.

Also, the Validate query gets disabled, once I type {{issue.parent.key}}.

Did you use the JQL branch? Can you send us a screenshot of your rule? Here is how it should look like:
