Hi,

We are using Exalate for our Jira server. The sync is between two projects in the same instance.

When opening an epic ticket in project A we would like that a task ticket will be opened in project B and that ticket will get the epic ticket number as a parent (epic link)

Is it possible? if so, how?

ThanksSource: Jira Server/Datacenter (old community)

So - if I understand it well.

The intention is that when an epic is created, a task is automatically added to the epic.

This should be straightforward - I didn’t try the following code - but it should be something like

if (firstSync and replica.type?.name == "Epic") {
   issue.projectKey = "B"
   issue.typeName = "Task"

   ...
   issue.customFields."Epic Link".value = replica.key
   ...

}
