Jira Automation : check Epic Name

BAILLEUL LOIC

Hello,

I'm trying to have a rule condition based on Epic Link name.

I managed to make it work based on Epic Link key but that's not my final goal.

I could get the Epic link name through branching, but I cannot find a way back to update my issue with this info (I'm in the Epic branch and can only update my Epic values).

What I've tried based on the structure I can see in the parent :

{{issue.Epic Link}} ==> provides me NNT-8

{{issue.Epic Link.summary}} ==> KO

{{issue.Epic Link.fields.summary}} ==> KO

{{issue.parent.key}} ==> KO

{{issue.fields.parent.key}} ==> KO

{{issue.parent.summary}} ==> KO

{{issue.parent.fields.summary}} ==> KO

I'm guessing issue.parent is not accessible, and issue.Epic Link only contains the Epic key.

My questions :

How can I get my issue Epic Link name ?

Is it possible to access issue.parent ?

Is it possible to get an epic name by key (like {{issue.MyKey.summary) ?

Thanks.

Hi @BAILLEUL LOIC and welcome to Community!

{{issue.Epic link.Summary}} works on my end:

Could you please check your rule audit log to see which error you are getting?

Hi @BAILLEUL LOIC ,

As I can see in your original post you are already working on a solution and providing good information on your solution.

In order to provide the right solution I always try to understand the context and the purpose from a functional perspective.

May I ask you to therefore describe your need as a use case? (often seen use case descriptions in "given - when - then" format):

Preconditions?
Entrypoint? --> when exactly would you need "something" to be automated
what should then happen? (which information should be given in which direction?)
....

Thanks in advance.

Best
Stefan

Thanks for your help, made me realise I was inversing my Summary value and my Epic Name value.

{{issue.Epic Link.Epic Name}} did the trick

BTW from your screenshot I discovered the "testing" feature through manual rule trigger & logging (no longer having to create a new issue for each test is a blessing), is there any documentation available for best testing practices ?

Glad it helped!

There isn't any official documentation about testing but I wrote an article to share automation best practices: 🪄 New automation rule checklist

Hi,

Here is the document to help debug the rule.

Hope this helps!

Thanks
