How to replace old fix version with new one using Automation rule?

[Saili]

There is a requirement in my project for replacing the Fix version of child issue with the EPIC's Fix version, when the Parent EPIC of that child issue is changed.
For eg. 

There are 2 EPIC

EpicA with fix version: FVerA

EpicB with Fix version: FVerB

If I move child issue from EpicA to EpicB then the fix version on it should automatically be replaced from FVerA to FVerB.

I have tried an automation rule which is working, but the problem is:

Instead of replacing the fix version, the other fix version is just added to it, so now it has 2 fix versions.

Please help :-)

Hello @Saili 

In the branch logic, in your Edit issue step where you are assigning the fix version, when you click the 3 dots to the right, you have 2 options. One is to "set and another is to "Copy". 

You can either choose "set" so that existing value is overwritten, or if you have chosen "copy", I believe there is a checkbox which you have to uncheck "Add to existing"..

Both options should work.. (see screenshots)

Hope it helps. Thanks!
