Jira automation: Adding new labels when task assigned to Epic

[Sohail Alam]

I am creating a new task with no parent, but when I assign that task to the Epic parent then I want that newly created task label name to be Success. Please help me out on creating the Jira automation.

Thanks

Hi @Sohail Alam 

Can you show the automation you currently have tried to setup.

I don't want to just give you a rule, I hope I can teach you something, so you can use the knowledge in the future.

I am doing this, and I think it is working now. Can u please help me if it gets removed from Epic then remove the label too? Thanks

[Sohail Alam]

But I think the above automation that I wrote is not effective enough. Cuz If I edit the ticket then it automatically changes the label to Project. Could you please help me? @Marc - Devoteam

Hi @Sohail Alam 

Keep the Trigger and Condition actions you already have, then extend the rule as follows:

On the first edit add the label you require on the second edit, click the 3 dots and configure as shown.

Remove the label you have on the parent

[Sohail Alam]

And it is still showing the label if I unlink the project. How can I remove the label if it is unlinked with Project?

Thanks

Hi adapt my rule to your needs

What is the label you set on connecting to a project issue type, remove that label when removing the parent field value.

How are you linking the issues, via parent field or issue link?

[Sohail Alam]

I am adding project by clicking add Project and removing it by clicking the pencil Icon and clicking Remove Parent.

[Marc - Devoteam]

Then the rule should work.

Can you show me the audit log and the detail when you removed the project parent.

It was a typo in the label name, made it work. Thanks
