How to copy Component data from Epic to Childern without overwriting anything in Children

Gregory Carman

Hello all,

I created an automation rule to copy a specific component value from an epic to all related children items. This seems to work fine, but I noticed that on some stories/bugs it replaced values in there with my Epic component only. For example:
Epic gets a new component = ABC
Story already has data in this field = 123 and 456
When rule runs, story only has ABC (123 and 456 are removed)
How do I update the automation so that it just appends the new value (ABC) and doesn't overwrite it?
NOTE: Using the "Then: Edit issue fields - Components" to make the change

Hi @Gregory Carman ~ in your Edit issues fields action, ensure you include the Copy from Issue option in addition to the Components you want to add. That ensures any existing Components are retained. HTH

It took some additional edits here and there, but I got this to finally work. Thank you Laurie!
