How to trigger an automation when the Epic is set or changed in Next Get?

[chadd]

Are there any updates on this?  The fields "Epic Link", "Epic Name", and "Parent Link" all appear to be Jira Classic fields.  Next-Gen uses the "parent" field to refer to the ID of a parent issue (subtask -> story/task or story/task-> epic), but I don't see this in the options for "Field value changed" trigger.

Hello @chadd,

Thank you for reaching out to Community!

Currently, Epic information such as name, color, link, and status is not available in next-gen projects. 

There are feature requests suggesting improvements for that:

• Next Gen project - ability to add Epic link when creating an issue
• As a Jira Software user, I want to be able to add issues to epics in Next-Gen (Agility) projects from the issue creation view
• As a Jira Software user, I want to be able to see the Epic information from next-gen projects in the search view

Please, click on vote and watch to receive updates about the features.

Kind regards,
Angélica

Epics are definitely supported in Next-Gen.  They are handled using a different field (the same one as for sub-tasks) but I don’t see why that should stop them from working with Automations.
