Use case

Often it is necessary to keep parent issues and sub-tasks in sync. To do so, the following automation rules rule comes with a handy configuration that automatically updates specific sub-tasks' field values with their corresponding values of their parent issue's value.

In our use case we want to automatically update the priority field.
