Can anyone share an automation that copies the DATEDUE field from the issue to a particular subtask?

Can anyone share an automation that copies the DATEDUE field from the issue to a particular subtask, when there are multiple subtasks within the story or bug?

Example: The story has a DATEDUE of 11/21/2025

the first subtask is Attach XML - I want the DATEDUE of this subtask to also be 11/21/2025

Hey @Glenn_Riley1

Simply create an automation with the following:

1. Trigger - issue created , condition: issuetype = Sub-Task

2. edit work-item with smart value {{issue.parent.DATEDUE}}

That should work.

Hi @Glenn_Riley1

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can do that via this automation.

Instead of copy value from the parent, you can use the smart value {{issue.parent.duedate}}, as also @arielei stated above.

Also, you can change the Trigger.

If it should be sub-task creation, you can remove the branch part and only leave the edit action.

Hope this help.

Hey @Glenn_Riley1

Keep in mind that the automation that @Gor Greyan is showing will work from the Parent side.

What i wrote will work from the Child side.

Important to understand this.

I am unfamiliar with how to add a smart value expression, can you share an example

Dear @Glenn_Riley1

Sure, see the attached screenshot.

You should choose a set, not the copy, and put the smartvalue.
