How to copy labels from Epic to subtasks?

Etai Leers_249pei

Hi,
I want to create an automation rule that copy the Labels from the Epic all way down to the Subtasks.
I'm able to add the Labels to the User Stories / Tasks but it is not being added to the Subtasks.

This it what I tried so far:

Trigger: when value changes for "Labels" , any changes to the field for Create Issue or Edit Issue.
If: Issuetype in (Task,Story)
for: Sub-tasks
then: Edit issue fields → Add labels from trigger Issue

Anyone know how copy the labels all way down the hierarchy ?

Hi @Etai Leers ,

i'm going to refer you to this other post that has a good bit of discussion similar to your request. The issue here is that the sub tasks are not associated with the epic, but rather the stories under the epic. So, as the other post mentions you can either do two rules, or consider the discussion between Alex & Bill using lookup issues and a branch.

The two rule method would be structured as follows:

triggered on label change, condition on epic type, and branches to change the related stories
triggered on label change, condition on Story type, and branches to change the related sub-tasks
