Jira Software Cloud Automation Question

[Gail]

I've seen some threads with this same question, but I cannot put my hands around this automation. 

• I need to look at any epic that has a component value and is not complete or canceled. 
  • For those results I need to update any child issue under the epic (story, task, bug, subtask, etc) component to be same as in the epic

MY RULE

What am I doing wrong?

Current issue is the issue that is been evaluated in that loop so you are taking the value from the same child issue story and could be empy. You need to copy the value from the parent.

Thanks Jorge.   I'm still new to automations so could you give me a visual?   Sorry

The Epic will always have the component value and that is what I want passed down to the stories/spikes/tasks/subtasks.

Hey Gail,

What is not working for you? Does Jorge's change make it work for you? Or is it something else? 

[John Funk]

Did you change it to do what Jorge suggested? Meaning instead of copying the Component from the current issue to the trigger issue or the parent? 

[Gail]

Hi John.   I'm not really sure how to do that so I asked for a visual.

[John Funk]

Go into you rule to the Components step. 

Click on the works "current issue" and change that to Trigger issue or Parent issue

[Gail]

Ah i didn't even know you could do that.   Thanks!!!

[John Funk]

Let us know if that fixed the problem for you.  :-)

[Gail]

worked like a charm.   Thanks again

[John Funk]

Great! And Go Steelers  :-)

@John Funk  can you pls help on this

I've encountered an issue with a Jira Cloud automation rule, and I'm hoping someone can help me resolve it.

 I've set up an automation rule to count field changes in an issue from Monday to Friday. However, it appears that the rule is also counting changes on Saturday and Sunday, which is not the intended behavior.

 Is there a way to configure the automation rule to exclude weekends (Saturday and Sunday) from the count? I want it to operate strictly on weekdays.

Any guidance or suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!
