Jira Automation to remove Parent's label from child issue

[Neville]

I already set the if conditional but I dont know how to set the edit action.

I try the additional fields.
{
"fields": {
"parent": {
"fields": {
"labels": []
}
}
}
}


But it wont work.


Thanks

Hi @Neville 

Can you clarify how the rule is meant to work?

• Is there a specific label which is meant to be removed? If yes, how are you locating it?
• Or, are you looking to NULL the labels field based on the parent?
• Or something else?

Sorry for not provide sufficient information initially.

Scenario is

When task is change the status to done, it will remove the parent(epic) 's specific label (Pending_PRD_Development) and add a label (PRD_Done)

Hi @Neville 

You need to refer to the Epic via a Branch - so the rule is trigger from the child issue level, and actioned on the parent.

The rule might look something like this:

• Trigger: Issue Transitioned
  • To Status = Done, Will Not Do, Duplicated
• Conditions: Populate as required, based on your needs
• Branch: Related Issues
  • Type = Epic (parent)
    • Branch-Action: Edit Issue
      • Field = Labels
        • Add = PRD_Done
        • Remove = Pending_PRD_Development

Let us know if this helps resolve your wider need - or if you need any additional instructions, let us know too!
