Initiative Issue links and child issues

[Jure]

Hello,

i have a question. On Figure 1 an issue of a type Initiative can be seen. This Initiative contains some Epics inside the Issue Links section.
Below the Issue Links section there is a Child issues section.

I would like to have all the Epics from Issue Links section to be displayed also inside Child issues section.
I know, this can be done manually by setting up an Initiative as a Parent Link for each Epic separately (Figure 2).
On such way i have to Edit every Epic manually.

Is it possible to achieve this automatically? Please let me know.

Figure 1: Issue Links

Figure 2: Parent Link

Best regards,

Jure

Hi Jure - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can try with automation for Jira. Build a rule with a Schedule trigger based on a JQL where you identify the Epics you want to update. Maybe something like Project = ABC and issuetype = Epic and Parent is emtpy

Then add an action for Edit issue with JSON in the advanced area. Use the key of the Initiative of the parent you want to update the Epics with.
