Hi Mirek,

Well i was trying to use JWME plugin for linked issue type param but, i got to know that HAS EPIC does not create parent child relation with it does for example task and its sub-task.

If you came across the groovy code to copy the field from issue set in Epic link(parent) while creating a new issues(as child) , please do share the link.

Best Regards

Hmm.. Not OOTB. You can use plugins (like Script Runner) and put in a Epic transition some post function that will create a ticket and copy some values that you are interested in having on child issue. Then just exectue the transition and voila! :)
