Creating an automation to get dependencies at task level to ladder up to epics

[Nicole Dutton]

Hello, 

Can I create a rule so that when linkages are created at a task/story level (e.g. is blocked by) this automatically shows a the dependency within the overarching epic that this task/story sits within? 

Thanks, 

Nicole.

You could create a rule based on an "Issue Linked" or an "Issue Link deleted" trigger that then does something. For example, it could add a comment to the Epic or a line to the "Description" field. Or you can create a custom "Dependencies" field and the rule adds a line to that.
