How do I write an automation rule to prevent using epics in done status?

[Ann Rumenapp]

I started the rule but can't get the trigger issue parent field to be set to empty (last then statement).

Hello @Ann Rumenapp 

You dont need a branch.

After your trigger, do a series of If/Else to check parent status..

Your steps will be:

• Trigger
• If/Else Condition -> "At Least one condition matches" => add condition => smart value check
  • {{issue.parent.status.name}}
  • equals
  • Done
• OR Condition -> "At Least one condition matches" => add condition => smart value check
  • {{issue.parent.status.name}}
  • equals
  • Cancelled
• Edit Issue -> Clear value.

Please try and share rule / audit log if issues.

This instruction worked perfectly.  Although being new to automation rules it took me a bit to get the clear value entered correctly.
