If epic gets a label removed then remove the same label from children issues

[Bruno Ferreira]

Hi, 

I am trying to create an automation that, once an epic gets a label removed, then the same label gets removed from the children issue, in case they exist (they should exist because I have an automation that adds them and that one works). 

However, I dunno how to set the automation to do that. I tried as you can see in the screenshot but I get an error because there is not value to copy from, since it is a remove operation.

Hi @Bruno Ferreira -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Have you tried using the changelog / fieldchange smart values to remove the "deleted" labels: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-issues/#--fieldChange--

Specifically, you could try using this smart value in the Labels to Remove option:

{{deletedFieldChange.values}}

If multiple values could be removed, you will need to expand that expression to remove a list of values.

Kind regards,
Bill

Tks @Mohammed Aamer Khan but I guess this approach will override the children issue labels, copying the labels of the epic into the issue, correct?
This approach doesn't work for me because the children issue might have labels that the epic itself doesn't has, so if I just copy the labels form the epic into the issue I ll lose those.

Hi @Bruno Ferreira

 I have tested below rule and it is working as expected.
