JIRA Automation - Epic creation

[Thang]

I'm working on a JIRA automation rule that would create an epic when a request comes into our project. The issue i'm having is the epic name. Right now the epics that get created have static naming. Is there a way to dynamically create the epic using JIRA automation?

For example:

Original request ticket name - "Request for tool xyz"

Epic created using automation - "New tool request - xyz"

Hi @Thang 

When creating the Epic you can set the EPic Name and use smart value to make it dynamic.

For instance

{{triggerIssue.summary}}

It will copy the summary of the issue in the Epic Name if you use this value as Epic Name value.

If you just want the end of the summary you can use the available string function to only extract the part of the string you want.
