Hi @Mario Amaya ,

I hope you are doing well!!

Atlassian has document on how to create automation rule to copy the parents field data to a sub-task.

@Mark Segall mentioned in his answer just change the trigger point.

Hi @Mario Amaya - So you're creating the sub-task manually, and upon creation you want automation to copy field data down?

You could do something like this:

* TRIGGER: Issue Created
* CONDITION: Issue Type = Sub-Task
* ACTION: Edit Issue* Select your field
* Click the ... menu 
* Select Copy
* Change the source to Parent
