Automation between boards

[Mohit Jain]

Hello everyone one...

Requirements

We have to create one automation rule when some one create new sub task under parent story having summary with team name like XYZ. That should trigger a rule and create an EPIC on another board.

Steps taken

We have created below rule it is working almost fine.

1. When value changes for - Parent or Parent issue.

2. Project equal: ABC

3. Issue type equals: Sub task

4. Summary contains: XYZ

5. Create a new: EPIC in Board EFG

Problem

Team who is creating sub task on board ABC is creating copy from an dummy sub task which is already available on board and then updating summary along, post that re linking that to correct story.

Because of which rule is creating two epic instead of one.

Solution looking 

Is there any way we can tweak the automation rule to only pick from the step where new story is linked second time, as first it was linking to dummy story as part of creation. Automation rule is also taking that as an change in parent and creating new EPIC which is not required..

Hi Mohit : )

Is it possible to add a label to the dummy subtask and have the rule check the label to decide whether to create the Epic or not? 

Thanks,
