You could use the Copy Value From Other Field post function in your workflow.

  • Issue relation: epic / issue in epic
  • Copy field: description to description

The post function should be on the create transition of the task workflow (not the epic workflow)

Make sure you selected an epic link on the create screen of your task.

The post function should be place before the "creates the issue originally" post function

Hi @Aurelie Geoffroy ,

when using workflow apps, those post functions should usually be placed after Create the issue originally since the post function itself needs an issue to be executed on (which isn't there before). Besides this, I'd suggest adding a precondition that ensures, this post function is only executed, if an epic link exists, e.g. epic link != null.
