Automation to Set the Same Parent Epic as a Linked Issue

[박예담]

Hello,

Our company manages Stories and Tasks as related issues.

We would like to set up an automation rule so that when a Task is created and linked to a Story, the Task automatically inherits the Epic from the linked Story.

Is there a way to configure Jira Automation to achieve this?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I would greatly appreciate any insights or guidance you can provide.

Thank you in advance for your help!

You can use Trigger as When Issue Linked

Branch for Link Issues

Use smart value {{issue.issuelinks}} to determine story key that is linked to the task

from story determine the parent using lookupissues

then edit parent in the task

Thank you for your response!

Where should I use the Smart Value?

I’m also curious about which action I should add in the rule to make this work.

The way i had thought, it is not working :-(.
