Automation > "Set" option doesn't work for Parent field

Cindy Kim July 1, 2024

I used the "Epic Link" field before in automation to auto-link to the parent epic when creating a specific issue.

After "Epic Link" was replaced with "Parent", I added the new field and tried to set the same epic but once I clicked the "SET" option, I couldn't search for any issues but only "Current Issue" and "Trigger Issue" showed up unlike it was in the "Epic Link."

Can't I set a specific epic or initiative in the parent field?

Hi @Cindy Kim 

It seems the 'Parent' field does not return the proper Jira name on search, you can keep using 'Epic Link' though or you can try the Parent --> COPY function, see if any of these works for you.

@Cindy Kim  You can simply put the issue key/parent issue key, it works fine, parent field value will set for new issue.
