Update field for all hierarchy of child issues

[Mykhailo Oleksiuk]

Hi,

I've created an automation that helps me to update the 'Component' field on child issues if it's changed on the parent one. But it works only in 2 levels of hierarchy.

Parent

|---Child

Is it possible to automate for N levels of hierarchy?

Epic -> Story -> Task

So, if I changed the 'Component' field in Epic level it will be updated automatically for Story and then for Task.

Hi @Mykhailo Oleksiuk ,

Perhaps you can create 2 automation rule?

First will run when the Component gets updated in the EPIC, and update the STORIES. The next automation can be executed to update SUB-TASKS when the above STORY gets the component field updated. You will need to check the below option in the second automation rule though.

Hi @Jehan Bhathena 

Thanks a lot. It works as expected 👍

Posting final result that could be helpful for others:

1. The first rule updates 'Component' field for epic, story, task, bug

2. The second rule updates 'Component' field for sub-task only and has enabled in 'Rule details' settings suggested checkbox
