Copy EPIC name to Components field

[Deleted user]

Hi,

We are using the Components field in order to open new groups in our Monday.com board, is there a way to set an Epic name and it will automatically populate the name into the Components field in each ticket in the Epic?

Today we set the Epic name and then manually copy the exact name to the Components field in each ticket.

Thanks in advance

The difficult here is Automation for Jira by itself add a Component value that does not exist yet.

There are of course ways around this by send a WEB REQUEST as part of the Automation to make sure the Component is created first, but this then also means you have to generate an API key to send this authenticated request.  It get's a bit messy and when the API key expires, you will have to remember to regenerate a new set of Basic Auth credentials and paste it into the automation.

Let me know if this seems like something you still want to do, I can attach an example of it.
