Auto populate label values

Senthil V_hygz0l

Hello,

 

We are using labels in JIRA board for various initiatives. We wanted to automate the population of labels based on the parent issue type's label value. Can you please let me know what trigger / JQL condition we can use. We have Initiatives, Features, Epics labelled and when we create a story, we need the labels to be auto populated.

Thanks in advance!!

Hello @Senthil V 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

When the Story is created, would it get the labels only from its parent Epic, or does it need to traverse the hierarchy to get all the labels for the Epic plus the Features, plus the Initiatives that are in its hierarchy?

An Automation Rule could populate the Labels field in the Story after the issue is created, but a rule cannot populate the field in the Create Issue dialog before the issue creation is completed.
