My Task is not connecting to my Epic in Automation

[Sara Palmitessa]

I have figured out how to add Sub-Tasks within my Epic but not Tasks.  The tasks get created but are not associated with my epic. I need help! I created them in the Automation section but the Tasks are not linking

Hi @Sara Palmitessa 

You can certainly set the Epic Link automatically on issue creation through Automation.

However, we'll need some more information to help resolve this question! Could you provide:

• Your current rule (a screenshot is fine)
• The process the rule should be applying, and what is currently missing
• Specifically, how an Epic is identified for the Task so it can be linked automatically

I did a lot of testing and figured it out.  I needed to add Epic Link to my screen.  Thanks for responding.

That's what I thought too.  Good that you were able to figure it out.

@Fabian Lim or @Ste Wright I actually have another question if you can help me with that.....
