Summary

• How to update the Epic Name field same as Summary by default every time while creating an Epic. 

Environment

Jira cloud

Diagnosis

Epic Name is a locked field in Jira, so we can't set the default value for such fields. This is tracked under a new requirement. On Epic Creation, Give the Option to Have Epic Name Default to Summary

Solution

Create the following 2 Automation Rules:

• Rule 1: will be based on the "Issue Created" trigger, and this will copy "Summary" into "Epic Name"
• Rule 2: will trigger "Field value changed", and this will continuously monitor any change in the Summary field, based on which this rule will update the "Epic Name"
