Automation to add label when creating a story in a parent

Question

Hello!

I am trying to create an automation to add a label to a newly created story if it is assigned to a specific Parent (formerly Epic). I was able to do something similar before when it was "Epic" but with "Parent" the only option that comes up is "Link to Parent" with the option to input a manual value:

I thought previously I could link the ACTUAL Epic (now Parent).

I feel like I'm missing something when trying to create my condition? But I'm not sure what to put. I've tried a ton of different things like containing portions of the epic/parent name and I still can't get it to pass. Each test I create says "doesn't match conditions"

Thanks so much for the quick response Rudy! Also I am so sorry I am bad at explaining things!

Basically I just want to create an automated rule that

When an issue is created

If that issue is in a particular Parent

Then assign a particular label to that issue.

I tried what you wrote above (I totally forgot about smart values) but I still couldn't get it. Could truly be because of how our system is set up though.

Hi @Emilie Hill ,

Welcome to the community.

It seems like you want to label a newly created issue if the parent contains 'Bug' the summary, is that correct. If so you can use the following automation rule:

Where the condition is a smart value condition:

{{triggerissue.parent.summary}} contains Bug

If this is not what you looking for, could you clarify you question?
