Clone EPIC & Stories to New Epic and link New Stories via Automation

[Melissa Lato]

I have been trying to write a manual automation rule to clone an EPIC (or the selected issue) with all its sub tasks and then link them all as they were in the original EPIC:

I have tried many variations of this but all the Stories seem to stay linked to the original EPIC. I feel like I am so close that someone hopefully will be able to confirm the final steps for linking them up.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Lukas

how are your application links configured (which option did you pick)

Did you check the logs when you tried to access bamboo / jira?

I think it was just a slight connection bug. First, I looked into Bamboo and it said the connection is "Deprecated". A quick look in the edit mode and I saw Bamboo is connected with Jira but Jira has no connection to Bamboo. Now I knew what was wrong, some access tokens were not valid and I removed them and relinked Bamboo with Jira. Finally, it worked.

BTW, in some tries he also said "The session is expired" and also couldn't create an access token.

This question is now solved!
