Populate features based on release vehicle?

[Johnny Ringo]

Why does Jira Align not populate Features based on the Release Vehicle?  So, we've renamed Feature as Jira Epic.  When these come from Jira they hae a Release Vehicle assigned but now I'm having to manually select a Parent Initiative Breakdown and Planning Increment.  Why can't it auto-assign those two bsaed on the Release Vehicle as they should always be the same?

Hey Johnny,

you expect a way to automate the links of Parent Initiative and PI from release into feature?

quick answer: There might be multiple associations than one.

A release holds multiple features (your Jira Epic) and each feature might be associated with different initiatives.

On the other hand, I would ask you for your "implementation runway".  Do you create first Releases than Features or vice versa?
This is related to the automation direction from feature to release which is happening already in Jira Align.

I hope this helps.

Best,
