Updating multiple Issues in a single execution of automation rule

[Sayi_Iynapurapu]

Team,

Due to recent changes to Jira Cloud, We lost Epic name mapping to Epic link in child issues.

(in our case Epic summary, Epic name are serve for different purpose)

In order to retain Epic name on child issues. We have introduced custom field on child issues. In order to copy Epic name from Epic to Custom field of child issue , i am looking a rule which can help me to achieve this function on bunch of Epics rather than  single Epic 

Example a rule can pull 'n' number of Epics and  will process each Epic  (copy Epic name from Epic to  relevant  child issues).

at present i can update a single epic. if i would perform action on bunch Epics  it will save my time.

Please help me to get this solution.

Thanks

Hi Sayi,

You might try a Scheduled trigger with the information below. For the JQL I would test with just a couple of Epics the first time - something like: issuetype = Epic and Key in (ABC-123, ABC-456)

Then after you have saved and published the rule, click the Run rule button which will run it immediately. Hopefully, it will process both Epics.
