I've created an automation to count the number of tasks in an Epic every time a task is added to or removed from the Epic, as configured below. However, this automation rule is not functioning correctly with the audit log, as detailed below. I hope to receive assistance from the community!

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

HI @Nguyen Thanh Tien

Welcome to the community.

Your edit action should be a lookup acton.

In the action state the following: Parent = {{issue.key}}

Then the edit action on the field and the value is the value: {{lookupIssues}}

@Nguyen Thanh Tien certainly, you can count the number of Tasks linked to corresponding epic.

Go to Issues or structure and use this jql query "Epic link" = ABC-123

Above query will fetch all user story, Tasks and Defects if linked, if you want to know only Tasks or Story then

"Epic link" = ABC-123 AND issues Type = Task

ABC-123 is Epic key. Let me know if you need further support.

All the Best!

Hi @Marc -Devoteam- , I have configured it as you advised (image 1), but I received the following error (images 2).

Additionally, regarding the field "Number of tasks in epic," it is a number type and exists in the Epic ticket (see image 3).

Hi @Nguyen Thanh Tien

Sorry for my mistake.

In the edit action the smart value needs to be set as {{lookupIssues.size}}

It's working now! Thank you so much!
