Value change automation

[Jason Chayer]

I have an automation when the value changes for "Description" the branch is for sub-tasks then the edit issue fields "description" is updated.

My question is, how can I get this to only happen for certain sub-task types, but not all?

I have three different sub-task types, but one of them, pre-release, does not need the description updated when the parent is updated.

Is this possible?

Hi @Jason Chayer 

Add an IF clause to your automation inside the branch.

@Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM  - Do I need to delete the branch "For: Sub-tasks"?

@Jason Chayer this condition would be under/within the branch, so you would still need it. And then the condition within the branch is filtering out certain issues so that the action only applies to the issues you're defining in the condition

Like @Callum Carlile _Automation Consultants_ said, this must be added inside the branch, otherwise, it would not have the correct context of the subtasks.

Hi @Jason Chayer 

Can you a screenshot of the whole automation please?

You will need to add a validator for each subtask to check that value. But the screenshot will help us.
