How to set an Automation - assign person to a linked cloned issue.

[Vera Valshonok]

Hi, community!

I've created an a automation to assign a specific user to a ticket at creation , this ticket always automatically gets a copy of a ticket  linked to it. How can I set in the automation that cloned issue would always get same assignee? Thanks

Hello @Vera Valshonok

Based on my experience with Jira Automation, you can create a rule to ensure the cloned issue inherits the same assignee as the original.

In your automation rule, use the Trigger "Issue Created" and set a Condition to check if the issue is a cloned one (e.g., check if it has a specific link type like "Clones").

Then, in the Action, use the "Edit Issue" option to copy the assignee from the parent issue. You can reference the parent issue's assignee using {{triggerIssue.fields.assignee.displayName}}.
