Use case
Often it is necessary to keep parent issues and sub-tasks in sync. To do so, the following automation rules comes with a handy configuration that automatically updates specific sub-tasks' field values with their corresponding parent issue's value.
In our use case we want to automatically update the priority field.

Providing a description will help you to identify what the rule does but this step is optional.
