Field update to parent of Epic

James Wardle_7qv4yt

We have an issue type hierarchy of Capability > Epic > Story.

When all Epics under the Capability have a field set to True, I'd like that to update the same field in the Capability.

However, I can't work out how to do that with an automation rule? I can't seem to set it to recognise that the parent is Capability, and needs to be updated by a change to a field in all the Epics.

"ABC" in the attached screenshot is the name of the field.

Hi @James Wardle - The Parent branch is misleading as it does not pertain to Advanced Roadmap hierarchy. You'll want to do this:

TRIGGER: Field Value Changed (ABC)
BRANCH (JQL)
- ```
Key = {{issue.Parent Link}}
```
- ACTION: Edit Issue (ABC)

Thanks @Mark SegallThat makes sense.

Do you know how I would set it so the Capability was only updated when all Epics have True in the ABC field?

You could try this:

TRIGGER: Field Value Changed (ABC)

BRANCH (JQL)

```
Key = {{issue.Parent Link}}
```

ACTION: Lookup Issues

"Parent Link" = {{issue}} AND ABC = False

CONDITION (Advanced)
- ```
{{lookupIssues.size}}
Equals
0
```
ACTION: Edit Issue (ABC)

Thanks @Mark Segall - this worked! Thanks for suggesting this, I don't think I'd have got there otherwise.
