Sub tasks due date matching parent due date when moved

[Sohail Alam]

Please help me create an automation that automatically sets a subtask's due date to match the parent project's due date when a task is moved and becomes a subtask.

Hi @Sohail Alam 

For automation rules, the Issue Moved trigger detects when an issue is moved to a different project, not when its Issue Type changes.  There is no built-in trigger to detect changing the Issue Type, and the Field Value Changed trigger will not detect this either. 

As a workaround, the generic Issue Updated trigger could be used to detect the change and then copy the date from the parent issue.

If you absolutely need to confirm the issue type changed before copying the field, the rule would need to call a REST API endpoint with the Send Web Request action to read and parse the issue history, looking for a change to the issue type.

Kind regards,
Bill

Please post an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, expanding all of the sections to show the details, such as the issues involved.
