When epic "Summary of epic" is created in a defined category of project, create tasks

[Séverine Del Gatto]

Hi everyone,

I need some help creating an automation :

1. that would create tasks automatically when an Epic with a specific name is created (this part we've got so far)
2. that would only do so when the project category contains or equals a specified word (in order to generate it by product)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Severine, 

Welcome to the community! 

Great that you already figured out point 1!

As for the condition based on the project category, you would need to make a comparison for a smart value. 

It is possible to see in your browser all the entities you can work with in an issue, and luckily the project category can be found there! 

You can use the following url to find all the different available elements of an issue: 

https://<yourinstanceurl>/rest/api/2/issue/<issuekey>?expand=names

Following the results on this page you can deduce that the smart value for your project category would be

{{issue.fields.project.projectCategory.name}}

You can always add this in a log action and see if it prints out correctly.
Then just add a smart value condition to check the value. 

Hope this helps!
