Update the epic story points when issues are added to/removed from the epic

[Anastasiia Shyshak]

Hello community.

I'm trying to understand if I can update the epic fields when an issue is moved to another epic (to recalculate the story points of both old and new epics and not sure if that technically achievable. I see there is some {{changelog}} property but not sure how to access the previous parent of the issue and to the new parent of the issue. 

My flow is

* edit the issue with the new parent

I want :

-> new parent is updated with recalculating the story points using {{lookupIssues.Story Points.sum}}

-> old parent is updated with recalculating the story points using {{lookupIssues.Story Points.sum}}

I also tried using multiple conditions for the issue (Parent Link Changed, Epic Name changed) but those didn't work for me and the new parent wasn't recalculated with new story points so looking for some help here

Hi @Anastasiia Shyshak :

Take a look at this video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PROcxEOMyGM 

You will have to focus on Rule 2 and Rule 3.

Though the link to the main post doesn't seem to work. But youtube tutorials solved all my issues.
