Lookup Issues - The option "our issue key" for field 'Epic Link' does not exist.

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-questions/Lookup-Issues-The-option-quot-our-issue-key-quot-for-field-Epic/qaq-p/1949732

 

Hi, I am following up on this inquiry as there doesn't seem to be any resolution on this thread.

 

"There was an error executing a search during custom value definition: .
Custom Smart Value JQL Search: "("Epic Link" = "Manage Bundles Main Characteristics") AND (project in (19290))" - The option 'Manage Bundles Main Characteristics' for field 'Epic Link' does not exist."
All my issues/epic are in the same project,

Just so I am crystal clear what I want is the following:

I want each of my Epic Start Date to be equal to the earliest start date of any of its child stories

I want each of my Epic End Date to be equal to the latest end date of any of its child stories

The Lookup so far is what is causing issues

Hi @David Roy Morin -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You are comparing "Epic Link" to the name...rather than a key.  Please try changing your Lookup Issues JQL to:

"Epic Link" = {{issue.Epic Link}}

That will work for a company-managed project.  If this is for team-managed, please substitute "parent" for "Epic Link" in both places.

Kind regards,
Bill

Custom Smart Value JQL Search: "("Epic Link" =) AND (project in (19290))" - Error in JQL Query: Expecting either a value, list or function but got ')'. You must surround ')' in quotation marks to use it as a value. (line 1, character 15)

 

If I add quotes : "Epic Link" = "{{issue.Epic Link}}"

 

Custom Smart Value JQL Search: "("Epic Link" = "") AND (project in (19290))" - No issues have a parent epic with key or name '', The option '' for field 'Epic Link' does not exist.

it is a company managed project

Ah, my mistake: your rule is already inside of a branch on the parent epic, so the JQL should check key:

"Epic Link" = {{issue.key}}

The symptom is the key value in the error message is empty, telling us that either the field is not set or does not exist (which is does not for an Epic).

Custom Smart Value JQL Search: "("Epic Link" = EOM-1961) AND (project in (19290))" - The option 'EOM-1961' for field 'Epic Link' does not exist.

David, would you please post an image of your current rule that is returning that error when it runs?  Thanks!

Hi @David Roy Morin,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Try using {{issue.epic.Epic Name}} in your search. 

Custom Smart Value JQL Search: "("Epic Link" = "") AND (project in (19290))" - No issues have a parent epic with key or name '', The option '' for field 'Epic Link' does not exist
