Not able to copy Components from epic on story update using Jira Automation

[Kashif Ansari]

Whenever an issue is updated, I want the automation to check the issue's epic component. If the epic's components field contains Technical then I would like to update the given issue's components field with that of the epic.

Here is what I am doing.

This solution worked.

Hi @Kashif Ansari  - Try using a Branch rule / related issues component prior to the Edit issue fields component at the end.

Didn't work

@John Funk This query updates the epic not the updated issue.

Glad you were able to figure it out!

Help! I am having the same issue. I want the tickets in the epic to pull the components from the Epic.  The automation keeps updating the Epic components, not the tickets in the Epic. 

I have tried numerous combinations, including the combination below. 

Any suggestions?

I have spent so many hours on this. It's just driving me crazy.

@Holly Schomann I use this query to update the fix versions and components whenever an issue is updated.
