Hello,
I would like to set up an automation rule to propagate the label of an Epic to all its children issues
The rule return some successes when I update, delete or add label in Epics but nothing happen to the children.
Anything I miss in the above rule ?
Thank you
Welcome to Atlassian Community
Can you try with Copy Label from Parent instead of Current issue.
Let me know if that worked.
Hello @pinky_reddy
Jesus, I've missed that... It works now thank you.
Maybe you can explain what are the differences between Parent, Epic and Trigger issue in that case (I assume all 3 should work for my specific use case)
Thank you again

Some of the "epic" fields are sunsetting in Jira Cloud, so the "parent" field is used for the entire hierarchy to connect parents and their child issues:
In rules, you will probably see the language change over time. For now, you can usually use them interchangeably when referring to an "Epic", but still use "parent" for issues and their sub-tasks.
Regarding, "current" and "trigger" issues, the trigger issue is always the same one: the issue(s) provided by the rule trigger. But the current issue changes based on where you are in the rule. That is why the rule in your original question was trying to copy from itself. Here is an example rule to help explain:
One more wrinkle in this: when a rule updates an issue, that is updated in the cloud, and not yet in the rule. To synch their values, the Re-fetch Issue action may be used to reload the data before the rule steps proceed.
Kind regards,
Bill
