Automation rule to link issue type to Epic already linked to a Story

Emna Elleuch

If we supposed, i have a Story Linked to an Epic, and then i will add Task, Bugs or Dev/QA Stories and link them to the Story. 

 

how can I add an Automation Rule to link all the items: Task, Bugs and Dev/QA Stories to the same Epic linked to that Story?

 

I would like to use the Clock Work App and get the time spent for all Epic so I think everything need to be linked to that Epic, and unfortunately sometime the team forget to link do the necessary updates

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Emna,

When you are linking the issues to the story, I assume that is by the issue linking functionality. So, you could create an automation rule based on an issue linked. And then add a branch for the linked issue. Under the branch Create a variable to identify the parent of the linked issue - something like {{issue.parent}}

Then use the variable to Edit the issue to update the parent field of the Bug, Task, etc.

Can you please share a screen how we can add this variable ?
