Hello @Preeti Yadav

You can use the automation rule for this. Screenshot 2024-04-16 at 11.35.27.png

Here is the example. For the Summary field, you can change this to be the one suiting your needs. More documentation on the smart values can be found here: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-issues/

Hi Preeti,

Are you saying create an Epic every time an issue is created with a certain issue type? Or link it to an existing Epic? And if an existing Epic, then how will it know which one?

Hi John,

Yes the existing one , we have as Epic which is already there , just whenever is issue type "Snow-Bug" is getting created it should be linked to the epic.

I have written some script - But It is not working when "Snow-Bug" is created automatically through mail handler.

It is getting linked to epic only when created manually.

Below is the script-

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

def issueKeyToAssociate = "GOXFUNC-8734" // Epic Key to associate with

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager

def issue = event.issue as Issue // Assuming 'event' is provided by Jira Listener

// Get the predefined epic issue
def epicIssue = issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey(issueKeyToAssociate)

if (epicIssue) {
// Get the Epic Link custom field
def epicLinkField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find { it.name == 'Epic Link' }

if (epicLinkField) {
// Check if the issue being created is of the desired issue type
if (issue.issueType.name == "SNOW-Bug") { // Replace "SNOW-Bug" with your actual issue type
// Update the Epic Link custom field
epicLinkField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLinkField), epicIssue), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())
}
} else {
log.error("Epic Link custom field not found.")
}
} else {
log.error("Epic issue $issueKeyToAssociate not found.")
}
