Is there a quicker way to update the values of the child issues when values of Epic changes?

Jar Lady

I have automation rule that creates story, task and sub task and inherit all the fields from epic once epic is created. I also need a way to update all these child issues when I update the fields in Epic. For example, I created an epic with value A and B. The automation rule runs and creates story, task and sub task for me with value A and B as well. However I need to update to value C and D for all the issues. How do I do that without having to create 1 rule for each "when issue value A changes" trigger rule? Cos if thats the case, if I have 50 fields, then I will need 50 automation rules to handle value change.

Thank you.

Hello @Jar Lady 

No, you dont need that many rules.

• You will use Field Change trigger and choose all fields which are of interest.
• Then do If condition, check issue type = epic
• If so, do a branch, choose, Stories (or other issues in Epic)
• Then you can edit and assign all Epic values of interest to stories.

Implement your rule and share screenshot of rule/audit log if stuck. Thanks!
