Automate adding parent

[Matt Meeks]

Is it possible to automate adding a parent when an issue is created? I'm creating a Slack channel for UX Design requests so people can create new Jira stories from Slack. I'm trying to have Jira automate adding those stories to an epic, but I'm not seeing any way to do that, or finding anything online..

@Matt Meeks, do you already know the epic key? 

Thanks,

Kian

[Matt Meeks]

yes, I do

[Matt Meeks]

maybe I spoke too soon. I have the epic created already-how do I find out what the epic key is?

You should be able to hardcode the epic link then!

Set up your automation rule based on "Issue created" and then add a condition to catch the tickets coming from your slack channel.

@Matt Meeks, 

Look under your recently viewed tickets.

Thanks,

I'm still not seeing anything called "epic key"
