Trying to update "Team" values on child tasks from Parent

[Damien Wittmack]

We have teams which appears to be a custom value, and was able to identify the JSON value of this based on other articles. 

However, when creating tasks under a parent/epic, which usually has the team set, would like an automation to auto populate this field. 

However, when I run attempt to test the rule, am getting the following error:

I assume have something screwed up with the branching logic, any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi, @Damien Wittmack 

Welcome to Atlassian Community

According to your requirements - you want to update Team field in child issues, but your rule makes opposite. You're trying to update Team in epic issue.

It's example of working rule:

Thanks, was able to get this working using the above, seems like I was making it more complex that it needed to be.

Hi @Damien Wittmack ,

Can you share some additional info such as which field type is this field "Team"? Is this the system Team field or are we talking about something else?

❓Although, I'm wondering - are you trying to copy Team value from parent to newly created child, OR are you trying to copy value from newly created child to parent?

If it's in fact a custom field, you could maybe use issue field condition together with the copy option within edit issue action. 👉 Note that this, as you're in the branch' will copy the parent value from child to parent/probably Epic (as the trigger issue is the child one).

If it's a system field, you probably won't be able to select it within condition, but you can use something like the following JQL query/condition:

"Team[Team]" IS NOT EMPTY

and advanced issue editing section as you did in your example.

Cheers,
Tobi
