How to check if bug is part of an epic?

Nauman Ahmed_qpbiyc

Hi,

I want to create some rules in Jira. Wondering how type of parent can be checked for bug or task ? This also requires dynamically setting custom fields to required options based on condition.

Rules required are:

if Bug is not part of an Epic, set CustomBucketField=Corrective Content

If Task is not part of an Epic, set CustomBucketField=Operations

 If CustomBucketField=blank, app. assigns per RAB 

RAB stands for Resource Allocation Bucket which is another custom field like CustomBucketField.

Hi @Nauman Ahmed - You'll want to think of it in terms of trigger, condition, and action.  From your description, it sounds like you have a condition and action, but I'm not getting how it triggers.  So, if you need help with that please, share when this rule is expected to trigger (e.g. issue created, field value changed, schedule, manual, etc.).

It sounds like you have a couple conditions:

1. Issue Type
2. Epic association
   NOTE - This one will be different depending upon whether your project is Company-Managed vs Team-Managed.
   1. Company Managed: "Epic Link"
   2. Team Managed: Parent

Here's how you can address it (this is based upon company-managed so if you have a Team-Managed project, you'll just need to substitute Parent wherever I reference Epic Link):

• TRIGGER: Your trigger
• IF CONDITION: Issue Type = Bug AND "Epic Link" IS EMPTY
  • ACTION: Edit Issue - CustomBucketField = Corrective Content
• E:SE CONDITION: Issue Type = Task AND "Epic Link" IS EMPTY
  • ACTION: Edit Issue - CustomBucketField = Operations
• ELSE
  • ACTION: Edit Issue - CustomBucketField = {{issue.Resource Allocation Bucket}}

I'm not entirely sure of the last condition so what I have there is based upon my interpretation of what you shared in the description.
