Copy fields into sub-tasks

[Heike Ellwood]

When a sub-task is added to a user story, I would like the 'team' field copied into the subtask as this determines whether it's visible on our boards. Could somebody please explain how to do this in the rule builder?

Hello, @Heike Ellwood ! 

If you are using the default field "Teams" in Jira, when you create a sub-task it inherits its parent value automatically. However, if it is a custom field, you can create an automation rule with the "Work item created" trigger, adding the conditions you need — for example, the issue type must be a sub-task and its parent must be a story. Then, you can add an action to edit the custom field, copying the value from the parent work item.

Here is an example of an automatiom you could create:

Let us know if it helps :)
