Next-gen Jira: Automation trigger for adding subtasks

[Xavier Arias]

We're using a next-gen jira project with automation. Overall it works fine, but we'd like to copy labels from an epic to stories or tasks, everytime we add them to the epic.

I've been trying multiple triggers, but none seems to trigger for this.

My first attempt was the "field value changed", but I can't find the "parent" field, which is what next-gen issues are using for the relationship. Also tried "issue updated", "issue linked" and "issue moved" (maybe it was moving them to be parent-child?)

How can I do this?

Hi @Xavier Arias 

There is currently a bug where updating the parent on an issue or task in next gen projects does not trigger the automation.

There is a public ticket tracking this here: https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-1987
