I stuck with the problem in automation rule.

I lookup for 3 issue with summary SUM1, SUM2, SUM3 and then I want to create 3 new issue based on the found ones with different types - also SUM1, SUM2, SUM3

I need to propagate summary from these 3 found to the 3 new.

I have tried branch but when in Summary I type - {{lookupIssues.summary}} I have received 3 new issues but every has summary "SUM1 SUM2 SUM3".

How to solve it?

I want to have it dynamic if I will lookup for different ammount of tasks.

Hi Paulina and welcome to the Atlassian community!

After the lookup issues action you should use a FOR EACH: add a branch action and choose Advanced Branching.

As a smart value you can use {{lookupIssues}} and as variable name issue

Now you can add actions in the branch and use {{issue.summary}} to refer to the summary of each individual issue.

 

When using {{lookupIssues.summary}} you refer to the summary of ALL found issues. That's why you need to loop through them :-)

Thank you for help!

 

It was not working for me with variable name issue probably because I created task which have parent, but while I change to test and use it proper in refer it is working.
