Description of Task, Copy to EPIC description

[Yannick Cejka]

Hi there

I have an automation, where when an EPIC's being created, it automatically opens a few tasks with edited descriptions. These tasks must be completed to close the EPIC.

We would like that if one particular task gets closed resp. Transitioned to DONE, it should copy the whole description and add it to the EPIC description. This must only be done with one task, and not all of them.

Unfortunately, I haven't found a way of doing this, as it seems it's not intended to do so.

Thank you for your help! I hope theirs a good solution

I want to make sure I am understanding the need. You need that description to copy up to the Epic but only from ONE of the specific tasks in that Epic? And if the answer is yes, will that be consistent from Epic to Epic? Is there something about that Task that we can key in on to know that it is the one we want to take the description from?

It will be consistent from Epic to Epic. The template that needs to be copied into the Epic is always the same and the full description can be copied to the Epic - so no changes needed.

Off the top of my head, I would approach it something like this...

1. I'm triggering off resolution being set (do this however you prefer)

2. I'm making sure it's a Task (as you indicated)

3. I'm checking for whatever is identifying that one specific task you need. In this case, I am going to assume we are using a Component of "API" as an example.

4. Then I branch up to the parent Epic and copy the description.

I hope this helps!

@Kevin Christmann Thank you! Worked like a charm. The branch was the essential part that helped!
