deletedFieldChange doesn't remove label from Linked Epic

George Tsemberlis

Hi there

Trying to write some automation for when a label is removed from a story from the "StoryLabels" field, it removes the identical label in the "EpicLabels" field. 

 

In testing for a StoryLabels field containing "LabelA", "LabelB", and "LabelC", none of these are getting removed from the linked EpicLabels field

 

I have a branch for the parent Epic to ADD/REMOVE the EpicLabels field with the {{deletedFieldChange.values}} smart label but nothing is removed. In the audit log {{deletedFieldChange.values}} returns all three labels from the StoryLabels field. 

 

What am I missing here?

Hi @George Tsemberlis 

First thing, when you describe the "EpicLabels" and "StoryLabels" fields, do you mean custom fields with those names or do you mean the built-in Labels field in the Epic and Story, respectively?

Next, your rule is using a Field Value Changed trigger for the "Versions Ordered" field.  That means any changelog entries inside of the rule only refer to that field, and not other fields, like Labels.  To detect changes to the Labels field, that would be used in the trigger instead.

Kind regards,
Bill
