Inherit fields from epic to epic-linked user story

Question

Hi,
is it possible to inherit fields from Epic Story to all epic-linked issues.
For example I want to inherit the field "Affects Version/s" which is a standard jira field from an epic to all it's epic-linked user storys.

I also want to inherit custom field values.

Does anybody offer a solution about this?
Is it possible to cover this with Script Runner?

Thanks,
Michael

Is there a means to do the exact opposite? Take all of the child Stories and their Fix Version values and "roll-up" these and set the value of the Epic's Fix Version field?

If the children have a fix version value of:

Issue 1: AA

Issue 2: CC

Issue 3: DD, FF

Then the parent Epic would have a fix version of:

AA, CC, DD, FF

This is basically the "roll-up" function of Portfolio. However, roll-up does not actually write the field (which is unfortunate). I want the stories to be tied to releases and this to drive what Epics show for Fix Version as Epics can and do span releases in my universe.

Hello Michael,

Could you please modify above script further for below Scenario:

Create a user story, update a Epic Link ==> Fix Version should be copied from Epic to User Story.

I want to use this with Script Listener, Issue updated Event.

It would be helpful for me and community users.

Thanks in advance.

Suresh
