Automatically propogate labels from an epic to all of its children and grandchildren.

Hi @Arnav

To achieve this, you can have 2 automation:

1 which will copy labels from epic to its children and then 2nd which will copy from children to grand children.

Let me know if you face any issues while creating such automations

HI @Arnav

What do you mean by automatically propagate labels?

You could do this with automation rules, or possibly marketplace addons. To do this with automation rules, please ensure you cover all the scenarios which are relevant to you. For example:

Labels changed in an existing epic with child issues
Issue created and assigned to an existing epic
Issue edited and assigned to an existing epic
Subtask issue created for a parent assigned to an existing epic
Epics and children which are in different Jira projects. For this scenario, such a rule would need to be global/multi-project scope rather than project scope.
Someone directly edits the labels in an issue other than the epic
etc.

Also please note that the way epics and children link is different in Company-Managed and Team-Managed projects: company-managed use "Epic Link" and team-managed uses "Parent".

If you wish to try this with automation rules, please take a look at these references and examples, create your rule, and if you run into challenges ask the community to help.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi Deepanshu,

Could you please write automation for this (how to copy children to grand children ).

Hi Bill,

I have created the above rules, which is not working.
Please check and let me know where I have done a mistake.

Bill Sheboy

Please post images of your automation rules and the audit log details, rather than posting links to your company's site instance.

What is not working and what do you observe?

What have you tried to diagnose the problem? (e.g. review audit log, review the issues, review the workflow, etc.)

Arnav_zirs84

In Audit log ,rule is success,
I am not able to see changes in child ticket.
