Pass a value field from Epic to Tasks

Enmanuelor Ortiz Lopez

Hi Community,

using Automation feature, Im looking to pass a value from a field in a Epic to all tasks created later.

lets say, I already have an Epic with all the values I need in the fields but later when I start to create Tasks I need that one value from the Epic could be passed on to the all the Tasks created within the Epic without the need to filling out again that field and the value can be filled out automatically from the value in the Epic.

is it possible?

Thanks!

Create the following automation:

---

1. Trigger: field value changed: Parent

2. Condition: issue type equals Task

3. Action- Edit field: "field A" - value: copy from parent

This automation will copy the field value  from epic to newly created task. Also it will cover the the scenario when Task is moved from Epic to Epic.

Also you can create another automation which will update Task field value when epic field value changes. This will update fields of the tasks already in epic.

1. Trigger: field value changed: "field A"

2. Condition: issue type equals Epic

3. branch rule: child issues

3a. condition: issue type equals Task

3b. Action - Edit field: " field A" - value: copy from parent.
