How to sync Jira Epics as parent tasks

With this manual option, you can set up a Unito flow so tasks, stories, and bugs linked to your Jira Epics show up as subtasks in your other tools. This solution will work with any integration that already has subtasks in its design! Common companion tools for this manual configuration include Trello, Asana, and Wrike.

Here's a comprehensive guide on how to create a new flow or if you're already familiar with Unito, you can simply edit an existing flow. Click on the More options tab. You'll find a box called Advanced features. This lets you enter custom code for specific manual configurations. To sync Jira Epics as parent tasks, just copy this text exactly:

{
  "syncEpicsAsParentTasks": true
}

Then, paste it into the Advanced features box. You should get something that looks like this:

After that, you just need to save your flow and close it. Now, your Jira Epics will be considered as parent tasks, and all linked tasks, issues, and bugs will be synced as subtasks.
