Automation Rules - Update custom Parent Link field through JSON

[Ahmad Sidawi]

Hi there,

Is it possible to update a Parent Link field which establishes Parent child relationships through Jira Hierarchy, through Automation rules? I've been trying but constantly getting JSON errors.

Any help would be much appreciated!

{update:
{
"fields": {
"customfield_10500": {
"hasEpicLinkFieldDependency": true,
"showField": true,
"data": {
"id": 449363,
"key": "DPT-43397",
}
},
},
},
}

Hi @Ahmad Sidawi ,

in order to help you, could you please describe what you're trying to achieve with Automation ? Are you trying to create a a link between an Epic and Story ?

Thanks,

Hi Alexis, 

I'm to create a link between two issue types, where the relationship is according to Jira Roadmap.

You can see in the picture we have a parent issue and a child issue according to Jira Roadmaps, by creating a link through a custom field. I'm trying to automate that through Automations. Hopefully this helps :)

Unfortunately updating the Parent Link field with Automation isn't supported at the moment. There's a ticket tracking this at https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-1779
