Automate epic start date to when epic goes into progress

Stef_3nvosu

Our hierarchy is: Initiative --> Epic --> Story

I currently have an automation that moves the epic to In Progress whenever a child issue (story) moves into In Progress.

 

I'm needing to now add functionality so that: When the Epic moves into progress (either manually or from a child story automation trigger), the start date automatically populates in the epic. Is this possible? I haven't been able to successfully get this to work.
