Looking to automate marking an "Epic status" "Done" when the Epic status field is moved to "Done".

[Galina Kumykova]

As of now, there are two fields that need to be moved to "Done" (for example) status - "Epic status" and status (issuetype=epic status).

I am looking for ways to automatically move the "Epic status" to same state as the issuetype=epic status.

Any help is appreciated.

Use an advanced edit fields action, and a JQL condition of "Issuetype = Epic", trigger can be When: Issue Transitions to Done.


{
"fields": {
"Epic Status": { "value": "Done" }
}
}

I think it's also possible to do this in the workflow, but automation is easier to extend to other projects.

Hi Chris, how do I get to the "Use an advanced edit fields action"? I do not see it:

@Galina Kumykova  You're in the right screen, just click that "More Options" bolded text and then into the big box and it will automatically become Advanced Edit.

This worked beautifully, thank you! It appears there's no way to reference the 'Epic Status' field via the regular automation actions.
