Copying Description Field and Component Field from Parent to Sub-Task

[Ankur Amin]

What is the automation that when a request is submitted that the description field and component field get copied to a sub-task that I have automated?

Hi @Ankur Amin you can create an automation for it. When you want to copy these field values? At the time of subtask creation or when parent updated? 

You can check the available triggers

Then add the conditions

Use the branches

Then in the action select edit field

Then choose option copy field from parent.

Thank you that worked! Is there something where if the description is edited that the sub-task would also be updated to match? Thanks!

[Manoj Gangwar]

Yes, you can create automation for that as well. 

When issue updated

If issue type = select parent issue type

Then select Branch for subtask

Action edit field

Select Summary and choose copy from parent
