Is there a way to auto label Stories based off their parent Epic?

Rich Evers

To help filter our work, we are wanting to label Epics. However, when you use the label filter on the roadmap, it will only pull up the Epics and won't show the associated Stories... unless the stories have the same label. Is there an automation rule which will auto assign a label to a Story based off its parent Epic?

I'm using a scrum board in Jira NextGen.

Hi @Rich Evers

You note using a team-managed (formerly called nextgen) scrum board...and have tagged this question with Jira Server. Are you using Jira Server/Data Center or Jira Cloud?

Both versions could do what you ask with an Automation for Jira rule. For Jira Cloud, this is built-in and for Jira Server/Data Center it would be either a free or paid addon...depending upon which automation features you need.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy thank you for reaching out. We are using Jira Coud.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Rich. Please look here for information about the Server versions of automation rules. https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/getting-the-right-version-993924597.html

Your rule would basically be something like this:

trigger: field value changes for labels
condition: issue type is epic
branch: on the child issues in the epic
- action: edit labels to set them to the triggering issue

That will keep the labels in synch. The rule would be much more complicated if it is possible for the child issues to have additional labels than exist in the parent epic...although that might create problems for your use case and roadmap filtering.

I can't seem to get it to work. Here's some screen shots...

Rich's recommendations worked for me. It took a few seconds for the labels to populate but it did. Thank you.
