Trigger on issue created

Srinivasan Sampathkumaran

Here is my requirement:-

Trigger: New issue created

Condition:

1) Issue is of type - Task, Story, Bug or Subtask

2) The issue has a non-empty Epic Link (i.e. they are created as child issues on an existing epic)

Action: 

1) Issue should inherit the "Component" field value from the parent epic

 

The problem that I face is on condition 2 - I'm unable to select Epic Link as one of the fields and check if it is non-empty. That is, I need to be able to run this trigger only if the issue is part of an existing Epic.

Appreciate any advice on how to solve for this!

Hi @Srinivasan Sampathkumaran -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You could try using an advanced compare condition to reference that smart value for the field.

I also recommend confirming which field is used for epics in your project: epic link or parent.  (This has changed with recent changes over the last year to some epic fields.)  You can do that using this how-to article: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/find-the-smart-value-for-a-field/
