Copy field priority from initiative to epic

[Ori Lazar]

HI

I am trying  to do automation in Jira cloud  that copy the value from "priority" field  in the initiative to the same field in the epic below the initiative.

parent = initiative

epic = child

thanks

Are you trying to copy the priority field from the initiative to the epic when trying to add the epic, or when updating the initiative you want it to also update the epic?

Hi @Ori Lazar 

Yes, and...to what Rick asks:

Or are you trying to do both?  That is, keep the Priority field in sync between an Initiative and its child Epics?

Kind regards,
Bill

HI @Bill Sheboy  @Rick Olson

Thanks I will try it

I tried it and it doesn't work

How do you do it the other way?  

When creating a new epic, I want an automation rule to copy the parent initiative field values (wsjf fiields) down to the child epic just created.
