Hey guys, do you know how can I do in the automation to copy a custom field from the Issue 

 

I mean, I have an issue created, when creating a subtask from that issue, I want a custom field to be the same as the parent issue, you know?

Hi @Mario Amaya - So you're creating the sub-task manually, and upon creation you want automation to copy field data down?

You could do something like this:

  • TRIGGER: Issue Created
  • CONDITION: Issue Type = Sub-Task
  • ACTION: Edit Issue
    • Select your field
    • Click the ... menu 
    • Select Copy
    • Change the source to Parent
