In my company, multiple teams use the same JIRA project, so we use a combination of different required fields to separate our tickets into the appropriate backlog.
Is there a way so that when I create a subtask, it autofills the required fields with the same field values as the parent ticket? Similarly, when I click to create a ticket under an epic, how can I have that ticket autofill the required fields with the same field values from the parent epic?
Thanks @Fabian Lim and @Jack Brickey for your suggestions! Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work for my use case.
The examples you've provided seem to follow: Create subtask. Then Automation runs to copy fields from Parent to Subtask.
What I'm hoping is possible is: if JIRA knows I'm creating a subtask, because I've clicked "Create Subtask" on a ticket, or because I've clicked the + button to create a new ticket under an epic, I want the required fields to already be filled out with the same values as the parent ticket. If they are not filled out, I cannot actually create my ticket. So Automation that runs after the subtask/child ticket is created doesn't work in this scenario.
Out of the box is not possible. You will have to look into thr marketplace and hopefully there is a plugin that does it for you.

Hi @Lizzy Li
Here is a quick tutorial: https://youtu.be/DcPYrw-Puus
Use the second rule as an example to copy fields from the parent to the subtasks.
For the epic child relationship you may have to use a separate related condition.

If filling in the fields after the issue is created consider Automation. There are a number of examples in the Community of similar automation rules if this would work for you. It is pretty straightforward.
