Hi everyone
I'm trying to create an automation rule that will clear out certain fields when an issue is converted to a subtask, and the rule just doesn't seem to get triggered at all. Unsure what I'm missing. Any ideas?
I've tried using a condition to check the "Type" field itself for when it's changing value to "Sub-Task" as well as using smart values. Nada. Is a change to a sub-task not considered a field change maybe?
There currently is no way to trigger a rule based on the conversion of an issue to a subtask or vice versa. I have found these issues related to the topic:
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-22432
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-70640
Nor have I found a way to detect that such a conversion has occurred by using an Issue Updated trigger and looking in the changelog smart value at
- parent
- parent link
- issueType
@Trudy Claspill - thanks. This does indeed appear to be a known bug with Atlassian under JSWCLOUD-22432, so I've added my vote to it. Hopefully they get to this one soon.

Hi @david catriel - Am I correct to assume that you're changing the issue type by way of a "move" action? If so, your trigger needs to be Issue Moved

Thanks @Mark Segall . I've tried that instead of a Value Change, but the Move only captures movement of an issue between projects. I've tried it anyway, though, and still nothing in the logs. I tried this with both the issue type check and smart values.
Are you able to get something like this to work? If so, would you be able to post a screenshot of the rules?

It was worth a shot. Perhaps you could use the field value changed trigger, but focus on the Parent field?

In "Field value changed" Trigger, What "Change type" you have?
Can you show the Rule Details Screen?
