Copying Value from a issue in Parent Link

[Diego Martínez]

Good day!
I have a task of type Initiative and another of type Epic. I want to copy the value of a field called "Folio Notion" from the Initiative task to the Epic task. However, in the Epic, the Initiative is linked through the Parent Link field, and in the Initiative, the Epic appears as a child issue.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Hi @Diego Martínez 

You can do that with Jira Automation.

You can define a trigger with a condition Issue Type equals Epic, then select a branch rule  related issues: parent issue. Use the Parent issue as the branch condition. This will allow the rule to work with the parent Initiative linked via the Parent Link field.

Add an action : copy the field value. Edit issue fields , field to copy: with smart value {{issue.fields.customfield_xxxxx}} where xxxxx is the the customfield id of Folio Notion.

I hope that helps

Hello!
Thank you very much for your answer

I would like to edit the Parent Link field in Epic to take the value of the folio notion that is associated to its Parent, how can I do this?

Currently, I have an automation that, when executed manually on an issue of type Initiative, copies the value of the "Folio Notion" field to the Epic associated as its child issue.

However, I would like to achieve the following: when editing an Epic and adding a Parent Link, it should automatically take the value of the "Folio Notion" field from the task in the Parent Link. Is this possible? :(
