Initiative Parent update also Epic Child. "Parent Link" = {{triggerIssue.Key}}. 1 child to be update

Hello Brothers and Sisiters,

I need help again. I need to build automation When Initiative Changed update also child EPIC.

I am using "Parent Link" = {{triggerIssue.Key}} method and it works perfectly fine:

https://support.atlassian.com/automation/kb/automation-for-jira-writing-a-rule-that-copies-a-field-from-a-parent-to-a/

but ONLY in case when I have:

1. One Inititaitve

2. One EPIC

My Scenario is:

1. One Initiative

2. Many EPICS

3. I want to update only one EPIC with customField = YES

 

The problem is when I add condition ISSE FIELDS CONDITION

Field: customField

Value: YES

between Branch and Action automation rule doesnt recognise this condition. As result when I change Initaitive value still BOTH EPICS are updated instead of One (that One with CustomField=YES)

And i am wondering if such field condition should be set on BRANCH JQL level i.e.

"Parent Link" = {{triggerIssue.Key}} and customField=YES
But this solution doesnt work

Hi @Mateusz Janus 

For a question like this, context is important for the community to help.  Please post the following:

• an image of your complete automation rule in a single image for continuity
• images of any relevant trigger / actions / conditions / branches
• an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution

Until we see those...

I would expect when the condition is added to the JQL for a branch on JQL this would work.  Seeing the complete rule and audit log details will help confirm this.

When you try that JQL with an example Initiative outside of the rule in an issue search, do you find the expected Epic?

 

Kind regards,
Bill
