JWM Epic Automation Multi-Layer Help

[Jasmine Pennala]

Hi everyone, 

I need some help figuring out an Epic automation. We currently have an automation set up as follows but it is not working: 

When issue is created, and issue type equals X. For current Issue then: Edit issue fields.
Facility - Copy Facility from Trigger Issue
Member Alerts - Add Member Alerts from Parent Issue

My goal for this automation is when a regular task is created from the epic then certain fields from the epic would be copied over. 

 Thanks in advance!

Hi @Jasmine Pennala,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The way you have the automation set up currently would mean that the issue that is triggering it would get the value from itself. Here is an automation that we have that copies the fix version from the epic:

Hi Mikael! Thank you so much for responding

I made the changes you sent and it is still not working correctly. I am not sure what is going wrong here. I attached the action details

What does you rule look like? Based on the audit log it is failing on related issues condition.

This is what the rule looks like

Okay, so it looks like your issue is not linked to an epic and that is why the rule is not passing the second condition. So when you create your issue you also have to link it to your epic for the automation to work.
