Using epic name in a subtask custom field

Douglas Oliveira_a3xjuk

Hi everyone,

I have the following structure Epico -> Task -> Subtask, I have a rule that when creating an epico standard tasks and subtasks are created together.
I have a custom field in the subtask with the name "Project", I would like that when creating an epic this custom field has the same name as the Epic Name.

Thanks!

Hi @Douglas Oliveira - In your rule that creates the sub-tasks, you can use this smart value to apply the Epic Name:

{{issue.parent.Epic Name}}

Hi @Mark Segall ,

I already used this smatvalue but it didn't work, I did it as follows

I'm an English speaker so please confirm my understanding...

Based upon your screenshot, it looks like when an Epic is created, you're branching into sub-tasks and editing the items.

If my understanding is correctly, this is not going to work because when you create an epic, it will not yet have any tasks/sub-tasks yet. I would recommend that you configure a rule like this:

TRIGGER: Issue Created
CONDITION: Issue Type = Sub-Task
ACTION: Edit Issue (Project)
- {{issue.parent.parent.Epic Name}}

Yes, that's exactly it, but that rule you gave me didn't work, I've tried replacing it with: {{issue.parent.Epic Link}}, it didn't work either.
