🚀 JWT 3.0 is out 🚀 

The app was completely overhauled, and so was the documentation: Jira Workflow Toolbox (Server/Data Center) Home

The page you are viewing is still valid for all app versions prior to 3.0.

Use case

To keep parent issues and sub-tasks in sync it is often useful to automatically overwrite field values of sub-tasks with their corresponding values of the parent issue.

In our use case we want to automatically update two fields with their parent values:

  • Priority
  • Description
