Inherit Field Values from Feature to Requirement

We have a field that exists on both our Features and Requirements, and that custom field is being used in our JIRA integration. When creating a new requirement, it would be great to have the field auto-populate from what is specified in that field on the feature this requirement belongs to.

    Our development team likes to estimate requirements grouped by fields at the feature level. Currently, you can only automate clearing a field or setting a specific value instead of inheriting the parent feature value. This would be great for us to add another option to field update automation rules.

    We have a similar Use Case: We have an initiative with 5 Epics that each have 5 features. Each feature needs to be able to know the Initiative Reference Number it can be passed through the integrated record.

    Yes please!

    Especially with Integrations, it is sometimes required to fill fields on each requirement.

    It would be helpful if when assigning an initiative to master record that it would also apply to feature record. I vote yes

    This would be a massive improvement at the moment we have to manually put the release number in the Requirements

    Would be nice if the feature would expand to all work items:

    Field for auto-inherit parent record data to child records

    Please do this, our PMs are requesting this to avoid duplicate entry of the same fields.
