Adding Epic "labels" to child stories

[Igor Kosoy]

Hello, any suggestions on how to to add Epic Labels to the existing and newly added Child stories?

Thank you

Unfortunately, out of the box Jira can not do it. You can try to use the plugin Automation for Jira

And create a Manual trigger for creating an issue with the field, what you need copy form another issue. Also, you can write a script for this, with Power Script or ScriptRunner plugins, but I don’t know how this script will look, and, I think it is hard solution for small issue)

Thank you.  This is no what I was asking.  I was looking for the way to auto add labels from the Epic to child stories.

This topic is old, but I had this same question just now and eventually figured it out so I am adding this here in case it helps anyone else.

You can do this using Jira Automation. Like this:

When: issue is created > Then: Edit issue fields: Labels: Copy Labels from Parent issue
