Jira automation to inherit field from linked issue?

Wes Mateo

I am wondering if it is possible to achieve the following via a Jira Automation rule:

 

• Every 24 hours, evaluate all issues within a given Jira filter.
• If an issue ("target issue") has a "Resolved by" link to another issue ("resolving issue"), update the Fix Version field of the target issue based on the current Fix Version of the resolving issue.

 

I know how to implement this behavior at the point in time that the link is established, but I need the Fix Version field on the target issue to be continuously updated based on the latest Fix Version value of the resolving issue (i.e. since Fix Version of the resolving issue may change after the link is established).

Hello @Wes Mateo 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Yes, you can do this with an Automation Rule by using the Scheduled trigger.

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-automation-triggers/#Scheduled

In the Scheduled trigger you provide a JQL to select the issues you want to evaluate. You'll want to be sure to that the box that says "Only include issues that have changed..." is unchecked.

The actions in the remainder of the rule will be executed against each issue retrieved by the JQL in the trigger. The steps should be very close to the steps from the rule you already have.

Try to construct it, and if you still have questions then show us the new rule.
