Use case

Often it is necessary to keep parent issues and sub-tasks in sync. To do so, the following automation rule 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.



Field changed event



Add a Trigger → Field Changed Event


Field*

Choose Priority


Changed to*

Choose Any value



Issue selector

Add Selector → Issue selector → Sub-tasks

No further configuration needed.


 Update field configration



Next to Issue selector click on Add → Action → Update Field


Field*

Choose Priority


Update to*

Choose Value returned by parsed expression


Parser Expression*

%{trigger.issue.priority}
# Since we want to get the value from that issue that is triggering the rule, we add the "trigger" prefix.


Both basic and advanced parsing modes work for this expression.

This is how the configuration above should look on your screen
