Upon creation, lookup epic Team and copy to issue

[Sheri Widler]

I am looking for a way to copy the team from an epic to a story/task issue upon creation.  I think i have to use a json smartvalue but need help with looking up the team number first and then using that for the input to the json.

Hi @Sheri Widler 

You are able to do this.

Make sure the "Team" field is available on the required screen(s).

In the automation rule use the following Edit action in the rule should contain:

{
   "fields": {
     "customfield_<ID>":"<Team ID>"
   }
}

Example

{
"fields": {
"customfield_10001":"100"
}
}

Hi @Sheri Widler 

Not all of the fields from advanced roadmaps are supported by automation rules, and I believe there are several fields called "team" in Jira...

So first thing, I recommend using this how-to article with example epics and stories/tasks to confirm the fields are supported with smart values in automation rules: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/find-the-smart-value-for-a-field/

If your field is indeed supported, you could create a rule, triggered on the story/task creation, and then copy the field from the epic parent.  That how-to article will help you know the field to use and then this article will give examples of how to perform the JSON edit: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/advanced-field-editing-using-json/

Kind regards,
Bill

The field is not visible, thanks

I think it is the same as this automation issue for Server/Data center version, even though you appear to be using Jira Cloud
