Update the Team field in linked Epics

Rachel Angel Manor

Hello, I have this issue which I'm sure should be very easy to solve, but for some reason doesn't work for me.

We use JPD, and have epics tied to the ideas. Epics appear under "Delivery work items". I'm trying to create an automation that does the following:

1. If an Idea Team field has changed

2. Update all the delivery work items (for us it's always epics) inside the idea.

I have an automation rule that seems to run but not take any action.

Anyone knows what might be the right automation for this?

Hey Rachel, welcome to the community!
I'm curious, does the log step provide any info?
One thing that might be useful is trying to get some log output from the branch work items to ensure you're in the right context for linked items. Does that make sense?

Thank you Jordan! Here is what I'm seeing. Since Jira automation didn't take any action, I'm thinking that maybe the problem is in the branching. I think that maybe "Types: added to idea" isn't representative of the actual relationship between ideas and Epics. BTW, here is also the test idea and epic I'm using. In the test, I'm updating the Team field in the idea, and looking to see if the epic is also updated.

Rachel, could you please check the scope of the branch? Does it include the other projects where the delivery work items reside? JPDauto.jpg.png
