Hi @Saumya Vaddamani -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

This community is for people with similar interests to learn, share ideas, and collaborate.  It is not a free labor pool to implement solutions upon request.  

And, successfully using automation rules requires learning and experimentation.  I encourage you to learn enough to at least start your rule, test it, and then if you need specific help to ask for it.  When one just uses rules created by others without understanding them, it will be difficult to maintain and improve them.

To help start your rule, please refer to these documentation and example sources:

• https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/guides/automation/overview#what-is-automation
• https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library#/rule-list?systemLabelId=all&page=1&pageSize=20&sortKey=name&sortOrder=ASC
• https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-issues/
• https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/use-advanced-search-with-jira-query-language-jql/

There are rules in both the template library and as examples in projects similar to what you describe.  Please look at those at as starting points.

If you are unable to try building a rule I recommend talking to your Jira admin for support.

Kind regards,
Bill
