Issue Automation - Placeholder Description for specific issue type and epic

KC Gibson

I am trying to automate adding a placeholder description for story type issues within a specific Epic. I would like to automate the User Story to be added to the description.

Currently, I have settings as:
Triggered when issue created;

Condition: if issue equals story AND condition: if epic name contains: Improvement Q3;

Action: edit issue fields (chose description).

I tried this and it doesn't seem to work. Any help appreciated!

Hi @KC Gibson and welcome to the community!

Assuming you're on Jira Cloud, you'll want something like this:

TRIGGER: Issue Created
CONDITION: Issue Type = Story
CONDITION: Related Issues Condition
- Epic
- Matches specified JQL
- ```
Epic Name ~ "Improvement Q3"
```
ACTION: Edit Issue (Description)
- Your Placeholder Description

Thanks for the recommendation Mark!

For epic name, can this pull all epics that say match "Improvement"?

I tried this but trying to include multiple epics.

Mark Segall

To confirm, you're wanting expand so that it brings in anything prefaced with Improvement?

If so, you can just change the JQL to this:

Epic Name ~ "Improvement*"

Yes, thank you!
