Is there a way to ensure/enforce fix version so that sub tasks match the parent issue?

Is there a way to ensure/enforce fix version so that sub tasks match the parent issue?

Right now it is possible to have a mismatch of fix version between parent and sub task. I want to ensure that this is not possible. No value is fine, as long as all tickets are empty.

Script Runner or other paid plugins are not an option.

I have a Script Runner script listener for this exact case, though I'm also syncing a custom field called "Verified Version/s". You probably don't need that, but I'll include it as an example. It's implemented as a groovy class file, here is a sanitized version:

import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.AbstractIssueEventListener;
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.project.version.Version;
import com.atlassian.jira.config.SubTaskManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption;
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.JiraWorkflow;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
class SyncParentFixVerifiedVersionsToSubTask extends AbstractIssueEventListener 
{
    Category log = Category.getInstance(SyncParentFixVerifiedVersionsToSubTask.class);
    SubTaskManager subTaskManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getSubTaskManager();
    WorkflowManager workflowManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getWorkflowManager();
    IssueManager issueManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getIssueManager();
    CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getCustomFieldManager();
    Boolean changed = false;
    Long workflowId;
    @Override
    void workflowEvent(IssueEvent event) {
        try {
            if (subTaskManager.isSubTasksEnabled()) {
                Issue eventIssue = event.getIssue();
                JiraWorkflow workflow = workflowManager.getWorkflow(eventIssue);
                if (workflow.getName() == "Put Workflow Name Here") {
                    CustomField vvcf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Verified Version/s");
                    if ( !eventIssue.getIssueTypeObject().isSubTask() ) {
                        // Change is on a potential parent, sync to sub-tasks if there are any
                        Collection&lt;Issue&gt; subTasks = eventIssue.getSubTaskObjects();
                        List changeItems = event.getChangeLog().getRelated("ChildChangeItem");
                        // Sync FixVersion/s
                        if( changeItems.any {it.get('field')=='Fix Version'} ) {
                            changed = true;
                            // Collection&lt;Version&gt; fixVersions = new ArrayList&lt;Version&gt;();
                            // fixVersions = eventIssue.getFixVersions();
                            Collection&lt;Version&gt; fixVersions = eventIssue.getFixVersions();
                            if (!subTasks.isEmpty()) {
                                subTasks.each {
                                    it.setFixVersions(fixVersions);
                                }                     
                            }
                        }
                        // Sync Verified Version/s
                        if( changeItems.any {it.get('field')=='Verified Version/s'} ) {
                            changed = true;
                            Collection&lt;Version&gt; verifiedVersions = new ArrayList&lt;Version&gt;();
                            verifiedVersions = eventIssue.getCustomFieldValue(vvcf);
                            if (!subTasks.isEmpty()) {
                                subTasks.each {
                                    it.setCustomFieldValue(vvcf,verifiedVersions);
                                }
                            }
                        }
                        if (changed) {
                            subTasks.each {
                                issueManager.updateIssue(event.getUser(), it, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false);
                            }
                        }
                    } else {
                        // Change is on a sub-task, sync from the parent if they are out of sync
                        Issue parentIssue = eventIssue.getParentObject();
                        // Sync "Fix Version/s"
                        Collection&lt;Version&gt; parentFixVersions = parentIssue.getFixVersions();
                        if (parentFixVersions == null) parentFixVersions = new ArrayList&lt;Version&gt;();
                        Collection&lt;Version&gt; fixVersions = eventIssue.getFixVersions();
                        if (fixVersions == null) fixVersions = new ArrayList&lt;Version&gt;();
                        if(!(parentFixVersions.containsAll(fixVersions) &amp;&amp; fixVersions.containsAll(parentFixVersions))) {
                            eventIssue.setFixVersions(parentFixVersions);
                            changed = true;
                        }
                        // Sync "Verified Version/s"
                        Collection&lt;Version&gt; parentVerifiedVersions = parentIssue.getCustomFieldValue(vvcf);
                        if (parentVerifiedVersions == null) parentVerifiedVersions = new ArrayList&lt;Version&gt;();
                        Collection&lt;Version&gt; verifiedVersions = eventIssue.getCustomFieldValue(vvcf);
                        if (verifiedVersions == null) verifiedVersions = new ArrayList&lt;Version&gt;();
                        if(!(parentVerifiedVersions.containsAll(verifiedVersions) &amp;&amp; verifiedVersions.containsAll(parentVerifiedVersions))) {
                            eventIssue.setCustomFieldValue(vvcf,parentVerifiedVersions);
                            changed = true;
                        }
                        if (changed) {
                            issueManager.updateIssue(event.getUser(), eventIssue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        catch (ex) {
            log.debug "Event: ${event.getEventTypeId()} fired for ${event.issue} and caught by SyncParentFixVerifiedVersionsToSubTask"
            log.debug (ex.getMessage())
        }
    }
}

I added the workflow name check so that the listener can be set for all projects, that way you don't risk adding a project and forgetting to add it. That worked for me, but may not for you.
