Auto Link issues based on issue picker custom field
I have an issue picker custom field called "linked epics" in my feature issue type. Cool field but it doesn't actually link anything. I wanted to see if i could get the issues to link using the "Has Epic of" link option using the features "linked epics" field to link the epics to the feature.
I have not been able to make this work. Can you help?

repo owner Hi @scottfedm1,
Please, try "Copy a parsed text to a field" with the following configuration:
- Target field: Epic link
- Parsing mode: basic
- Text to be parsed:
%{nnnnn}
, replacing nnnnn with field code for "Linked epic" custom field.

reporter No luck. :(

repo owner Hi @scottfedm1,
I have implemented the described solution using JIRA 7.4.2, JWT 2.2.42 and CF Issue Picker 1.0.2, and it works as expected.
You should take into account that:
- You should select an Epic issue in field "linked epics". If you select other issue types, no link will be created.
- An issue can only have one epic. You should select only one. If you selected more than one epic in field "linked epics", and error message will be shown.
This is a screenshot of my configuration:
I have also included the following boolean expression at parameter conditional execution:
%{nnnnn} != null
replacing nnnnn with field "linked epics".
