Automation: Scheduled Tasks set parent to a specific epic?

Hi,

 

I'm using Jira Automation to create tasks for Scheduled Automation,   How can I set the Parent to be a specific epic so that all maintenance tasks are linked to the same epic?

It seems the Epic Link field is being depricated.

 

Thanks

Figured it out, 

Setting it in the Additional Fields seems to work.

e.g. 

 

{
"fields": {
"parent": {"id":"29050"}
}
}

 

The only issue is figuring out the ID of the EPIC.   I used Jira API to do this

Hi andrew!

Now you can only use the "Parent" field
With it it will automatically be linked as it used to with the "Epic Link" field which, as you said, is now obsolete.

Regards!
