Hi @[deleted],

Below Behaviour script may give you some idea

def labels = getFieldByName("Labels")
def lbls = labels.getFormValue() as String

if(lbls.contains("label name")){
     getFieldByName("Epic Link").setFormValue("JRA-3")
} 

Note: you need place this script for Labels field

Hi @Leo 

It is not working.

Is it not updating Epic Link field? can you include else part in the script and try to update other epic for testing?

tried with the below script still it is not working

def labels = getFieldByName("Labels")
def lbls = labels.getFormValue() as String

if(lbls.contains("Test")){
getFieldByName("Epic Link").setFormValue("DONE-12")
} else {
getFieldByName("Epic Link").setFormValue("DONE-14")
}

Hi @Leo

Epic link is now updating with the below script.

def labels = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
String lbls = labels.getValue() as String

if(lbls.contains("Test1")) {
getFieldByName("Epic Link").setFormValue("DONE-12")
} else if(lbls.contains("Test")) {
getFieldByName("Epic Link").setFormValue("DONE-14")
}

Thanks for the help.

Hi @[deleted] 

If you can open the Epic issue and add issue from that page, it will be linked to that particular Epic automatically.

Hi @Lenin Raj

Thanks for the reply.

What i mean is when user creating a story it should automatically populate required Epic in Epic Link field depends on Label selection on create screen.

Thanks,
