Using Smart value when cloning

Michael Da Costa

Hi, I am looking to clone epic, task, subtask to a new project - i have this working successfully (with help from this forum - TY)

However when the tasks clone the parent link is not maintained and hence they clone as orphans in my new project.

I have used a smart value to hold parent.key value but this does not seem to be applied to my tasks. Any idea what i'm missing / doing wrong. Apologies i'm a bit of a newbie

My Rule:

Hey @Michael Da Costa,

I'm not 100% sure why it isn't working for you.  But my best recommendation as a first troubleshooting step would be to add a log action step:

And provide the smart value you created.  Then check the audit log when you run this automation rule to make sure that you are getting the value you expect in that smart value.

Knowing if that is correct or not is your best first step to solving this issue.

I hope that helps!
