How can I automatically populate the Epic based on the selection of custom field values ?

I want to automate the population of Epic link from the value selected during the creation of the issue.

Can someone help with the concept of how to achieve this ? Thanks

Since, Epic link denotes the epic, thus it seems you intend to link the story/task to an epic via the epic link field based on a certain custom field value during the post-function of the create transition. I hope I have understood you right.

You can't do this out of the box, but if you have a plugin like Script runner, then it's easily doable.

@Tarun Sapra Hello. Yes you got that absolutely right, . Also, I do have Scriptrunner available. Any help on how this could be accomplished using Scriptrunner ? Thank you

Hello @Aisha M

Put the post-function in the very end of the list of post-functions available and go through the links which I shared as they have all relevant code.

@Tarun Sapra Okay Tarun. Thank you so much. Will try this out and see how it goes:)
