Copy the linked issues of an issue in its subtasks

[Jose Antonio Quesada]

Hello,

I need to copy the linked issues of an issue in its subtasks.

I imagine to do it through an automation, but I don't know how.

Could someone help me?

Thanks in advance

Jose

Hi @Jose Antonio Quesada ,

You can use the trigger "issue linked" and a branch For: Sub-tasks and then choose Edit Issue within the branch.
See screenshot.

Probably add a condition for your use case I think.

Thank you  very much @Marco Brundel but I am not succeeding.

I have this issue with Linked issues:

The desired behaviour is as follows: I want the linked tasks of the parent task to be assigned to the subtasks when they are created.

Thanks in advanced

Hi @Jose Antonio Quesada ,

I don't quite understand your question.
Can you clarify further?

Looking at your example, do you want to link issue STE23-62 to the sub-tasks of STE23-32 when it is linked to STE23-32?

Hi @Marco Brundel 

Apologies for my late reply.
Indeed, the desired behaviour is as follows:
1. I have a task A that I link to a task B.
2. In task A, I create subtasks A1, A2 and A3.
3. I want an automatism, which links B, to the subtasks A1, A2 and A3.

Is this possible?

Hi @Jose Antonio Quesada ,

Unfortunately, there isn't a specific 'create sub-task' trigger.

But if you combine 'create issue' as a trigger with condition issue type = sub-task and then choose 'edit issue' as the action, you can choose 'field' linked issues and copy them from the parent issue. Is this useful to you?

Hi @Marco Brundel 

It sound goods, but it doesn't work, I don't know why??

Audit log describes it works, but the linked issue is not in the issue:

But the parent task has a linked issue:

What is wrong?

Thanks in advance?

Hi @Jose Antonio Quesada ,

Question: if you look in STE23-63, do you also not see STE23-85 as a linked issue?

Hi @Jose Antonio Quesada ,
Strange, I don't have an explanation right away. Would you like to add a screenshot of the rule here?
And for the sake of completeness, how is the Linked permission set up?

Hi @Jose Antonio Quesada ,

I see you use 'copy linked issues from current issue'. If you change this to 'copy linked issues from parent issue' does it work?

Yes!!! It works!!!!

Thank you very much @Marco Brundel
