how to delete specific issue components using automation for Jira

[Michele D'Adamo]

Hi, 

I'm currently exploring the capabilities of automation for Jira to have a hierarchy alignemnt on Components fileds of a group Epic-Story-subtask.

I'm already able to copy components from a parent. Also to add new components when the parent changes (or to replace them).

My current problem is about how to delete a specific component value from the list of compontents of an issue.

The practical example is the following one. But, currently, I'm still not able to delete a specified component.

step1) sub-tasks and stories already inherited Epic components (maybe appending to any already existing)

step2) one component is deleted from a parent issue (let's say the epic)

step3) the same component SHOULD be deleted from the childrens (let's say at lest from the stories under that epic)

I was trying to use smart values/advanced rules/variables to solve step3) but nothing seems to fit my needs.

Could anyone help me?

thank you in advance for the help.

You can add the "Update Field Value" workflow post function on the "Resolve" transition to set "Remaining Estimate" to 0.
