Jira Automation: remove the text ''VORLAGE: ‘’ in every stories under epic

[Mengqian Shi]

Hey, I would like to ask how to realize the following execuation when I now in one story:

1. find the parent epic of current story

2. remove the text ''VORLAGE: ‘’ in every stories under this parent Epic

This is what I did, but it has no function at all.

I trigger it manually for stories and epics type.

Hi @Mengqian Shi , welcome to the Community. Your branching bit is inaccurate. Is this a one-time condition that you wish to correct on a single specific epic? If so Ibwould create a temporary rule like below.

• scheduled rule with JQL - type = story and parent = abc-123 and summary ~ "VORLAGE"
• Action - use you current replace action

if my understanding of your use case is incorrect please prdetails

[Jack Brickey]

Sorry, I should have added that once you save the rule just run it manually right from the rule by clicking on the ellipses.

Hi @Jack Brickey , thanks for your answer, I want to use JQL to find the parent epic automatically but not have to specifically manually enter the parent key. Now I tries the this JQL: "Epic Link" ={{issue.parent.key}} and summary ~ "VORLAGE: ", it could only work on the current story but not the other stories under parent epic. Do you have any idea for this?

[Jack Brickey]

Epic link is now obsolete replaced by Parent. I still don't understand your use case can you please detail exactly what you are trying to accomplish?

[Mengqian Shi]

I will explain what I want to accomplish:

1. I will trigger the jira automation in one story, we name it A

2. and what I want to edit is the summaries for stories under A's parent Epic, I want to delete "VORLAGE: " in these stories' summary

Now in Lookup I use JQL to find all the issues under the parent Epic, and then edit these issues summaries, but the truth is that it seems like still only can work on the work item story A, but not the issues, which I already looked up

[Jack Brickey]

Ok, let me try to restate your goals to ensure I understand fully.

You have an epic with, for example, five children and some of those may have the word VORLAGE in the summaries. For whatever reason you wish to trigger an automation from one of those child stories. That automation will seek out all other stories under the epic that has this key word and remove it from those summaries. Do I have this, correct?

Example...

Epic XXX

• Story A (execute manual rule here)
• Story B
• Story C
• Story D
• Story E

in the above example, you wish to execute a manual rule on Story A and remove the word VORLAGE from story B- E if it exists. Correct?

[Mengqian Shi]

yes correct! but if the story A summary also have the ''VORLAGE: '', the rule also should be executed in story A
