Cześć

 

I would like to automatically copy the security level from the epic to the task and this is the rule I have created, it works perfectly.

However, it eats up almost all of my automation limit.

I wonder if it is possible to use Advanced Comparison to compare half value fields in an epic and an issue?

I would like to define it more or less like this:

1. If Issue.SecurityLevel =! ParentSecurityLevel

2. than copy Security Level from Parent

 

Do you think this is possible? How exactly do you write down smartvalue. The correct syntax for customised fields is a problem for me.

Hi @Emilia KASPRZYK 

That might be possible...Are these custom fields you have created?

If so, please use this how-to article to identify the supported smart values (and custom field ids) for your fields.  Smart values are name, spacing, and case-sensitive so using the correct one is key.  Essentially the steps are:

1. identify an example issue with your fields
2. using a web browser, call a REST API function to find the smart values: yourJiraURL/rest/api/2/issue/yourJiraIssueKey?expand=names
3. search on the page for your field, such as with CTRL-F
4. if you find your field, it will show the correct smart value (and custom field id), and the structure of how it is used in the issue.

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/find-the-smart-value-for-a-field/

 

And once you have that information, you can compare them with the Advanced Compare Condition like this, substituting in the correct smart values.  I am assuming these are single-select fields in my example.

• first value: {{issue.Security Level.value}}
• condition: does not equal
• second value: {{issue.parent.Security Level.value}}

 

Kind regards,
Bill
