Copy Story Assignees to Custom Field "Epic Team" on Epics

[Amanda Mason]

Use case: I want to be able to see all assignees working on a given Epic in an automated fashion.

I've created a User Picker (multiple users) custom field called "Epic Team". I'd like that field to automatically update on epics when child stories are assigned.

Example:

- Story 1 assignee = Jane Doe

- Story 2 assignee = John Doe

- Epic custom field "Epic Team" = Jane Doe, John Doe

Is this possible with Jira Automation?

Hello @Amanda Mason 

Welcome to the community.

Yes, this is possible with Automation.

In my example I have created a new custom field called "Multiple Assignees" of type User Picker (multiple) and added it to the Epic Issue.

The example rule does not address:

- If the child issue Assignee is set from one user to another, or is changed from being assigned to being Unassigned, the original assignee is not removed from the Multiple Assignees field on the parent Epic.
