Hi Team,
Please suggest the solution,
Mapping the fields vaules from Parent incident to child incident.
when a child incident is added to the parent incident then the fields values should be same as Parent Incident.
We need Update the following fields from the Parent Incident to the all child incident.

Impacted Country
Assignment Group
Assigned to
Configuration Item

You can create an onBefore business rule on incident table to populate these fields when Parent Incident field is not empty.

I would create an onBefore Insert Business Rule on the incident table
with condition
Parent is not Empty
And with script
current.category = current.parent_incident.category;
current.subcategory = current.parent_incident.subcategory;
current.assignment_group = current.parent_incident.assignment_group;
current.assigned_to = current.parent_incident.assigned_to;

Create a flow designer to do it.
On Create of Incident where Parent is of type Incident and Parent is not empty
- Lookup Records: incidents where parent = triggering record's parent.
- For Each: update Incident with all the fields you specified. All coming from triggering record.parent.whatever field.
