checking a checkbox field of a parrent issue in a post function of an epic

[andres jerez]

Hi, im trying to update a checkbox custom field that only has a value ("Lost") on a parent issues right after i update one of the epics to a particular status in our kanban board, but no matter which configuration of the "Set field value post-function" in the JMWE i use, it still never changes, in the value field i was trying something like {{targetIssue.fields["Lost"] | join("," , "Lost")}},  but no changes, i tried, also just to let the value field like "Lost" but also didnt work. what could i be doing here wrong?

As a target issue i have: issues that belong to the current issue Epic.

Field: Lost

Value: (i tried multiples as mentioned)

Solved: I selected basic JIRA Cloud (which does not include the Greenhopper/Agile functionality), rather than JIRA Agile (which does).

Agile is required if you want "Epic" issue type functionality.

Upgrading to Agile fixed this.

Workflow and issue type are two totally different things.

The issue types you see in your project are selected by your "issue type scheme".  If you want to have Epics and Improvements in your project, look at the issue type scheme and add them from the global list.  If you don't have Epic on the list of available issue types, go to the list of issue types and add it.

Workflow is the process an issue follows.  You can define lots of these, and then set up projects to use one or many.

There is a link - you can set it up so that "issue type A uses workflow X in project ABC, workflow Y in project DEF and issue type B follows workflow Z in both projects".  But a workflow does not include an issue type at all.
