Hi Team,

We need to copy the "Labels" from the Epic ticket to the newly created Stories from the different projects for that Epic. This should happen whenever we create a new Story ticket.

I tried with the event-based actions JMWE with the event "Issue Link Created, and added the post function to copy the field value, but it's not working, or maybe I am doing wrong.. Is there any option with the automations?

Please find the attached screenshot for your reference.

Hi @Tinker Fadoua , Thank you so much for your quick response.

I think my request and the article are different.

In this section, we will add stories from various projects to the Epic. The main project consists solely of one issue type, which is "Portfolio Epic." Therefore, whenever a story is added to this Portfolio Epic, the label should be copied to all newly created stories.
