Hi Santosh - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Create an Automation Rule based on a Field Value Changed trigger. Select the field you want to be copied up to the parent.

Then add a Condition for the Work Type of the source work item.

Then add a Branch and select Branch rule / related work items.

Then in the dropdown select Parent.

Click the + Add to branch button

Select the blue THEN: Add an action

Select Edit a Work Item

Choose the field of the parent you want updated from the child.

Select the 3 dots to the right and choose Copy

Then change the Issue to copy value from to say Trigger work item.

Update it and you are all set.

Hi @Santosh Racha -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Would you please add more details to what you are trying to accomplish?

For example, are you trying to:

* copy-and-paste text from the Description of one item to another, or
* copy some fields with automation, or
* something else?

Kind regards,
Bill
