Remove & Update Fix Version based on the Epic's Fix Version

Amy Chang_299cvs

Hi,

I have a question about removing Fix versions from the issue.

Our Fix Version of the issues is based on the Epic

So when adding issues to Epic A, the issues will be auto-assigned to the same Fix versions as Epic. 

If the issue becomes the empty parent, how can I remove the Fix versions?

If I directly change to another Epic (B), how can I remove the original one and add the same Fix Versions as Epic B?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Amy Chang 

For your scenario, your rules will need to use various different triggers, and use conditions to decide what to do.  In general...

• To clear the field, please try the issue edit action, leaving the value empty
• To always copy from the current parent epic, try the issue edit again, selecting to copy from parent.  And so there is no need to remove the old values.

For the different scenarios, please consider:

1. issue created, and has an epic parent
2. issue updated for parent field, and epic parent removed
3. issue updated for parent field, and epic parent changed
4. epic updated, and [probably] want to update all of the child issues to match
5. manual tampering: someone edits the Fix Version in a non-epic issue...What should happen?

For cases 2 and 3, the rule could use conditions with the changelog to detect what happened to the parent.

Kind regards,
Bill
