Inherent dropdown fields from Epic on creating a new issue

[Reinout de Jongh]

Hi all,

What I would like to achieve through automation, is that upon creating an issue in the Timeline under an Epic, that two dropdown fields automatically get set for the issues as well. 

So far I have come up with the following;

1. Trigger: Issue creation

2. Condition: "Epic Name" not empty

3. Action: Lookup-Issues: "Epic Link" = {{issue.Epic Link}}

4. Action: Edit Issue: 
{
"fields": {
"customfield_10045": {
"value": "{{lookupIssues.first.fields.customfield_10045}}"
},
"customfield_10046": {
"value": "{{lookupIssues.first.fields.customfield_10046}}"
}
}
}

However, this doesn't work. Any suggestions on how to solve this?

It does work, just have to wait 5 seconds for it to happen
