Copy value from a cascading list in a sub-task to the parent ticket in a cascading list

Térence LECROIX

Hello,

I'd like to get the parent and child values from a cascading list in a sub-task and fill in the same values in the parent ticket on a cascading list as well.

The automation is supposed to be trigger when a field is modified in the parent ticket, the automation should gather the value from the sub-task and fill the cascading lsit.

Both two cascading list have the same values but are two separate fields.

I tried to get the value by using the Branch "For sub-tasks", then create three variable : 

for example : 

• Variable name : myvar1
• Smart value : {{issue.fields.NAME OF MY CASCADING LIST.value}}
• Variable name : myvar2
• Smart value : {{issue.fields.NAME OF MY CASCADING LIST.child.value}}

 

Then i tried with additional field in json such as : 

{
"update": {
"NAME OF MY CASCADING LIST": [
{
"set": {"value": "{{myvar1}}", "child": {"value" : "{{myvar2}}"}}
}
]
}
}

 

But nothing seems to work,
thanks in advance !

Please show us your rule.

Sometimes the problem with using smart values and variables has to do with the context of when they are used/created.
