How to copy Component data from Epic to Childern without overwriting anything in Children
Hello all,
I created an automation rule to copy a specific component value from an epic to all related children items. This seems to work fine, but I noticed that on some stories/bugs it replaced values in there with my Epic component only. For example:
Epic gets a new component = ABC
Story already has data in this field = 123 and 456
When rule runs, story only has ABC (123 and 456 are removed)
How do I update the automation so that it just appends the new value (ABC) and doesn't overwrite it?
NOTE: Using the "Then: Edit issue fields - Components" to make the change

Hi @Gregory Carman ~ in your Edit issues fields action, ensure you include the Copy from Issue option in addition to the Components you want to add. That ensures any existing Components are retained. HTH
