Create a conditional Jira Automation from one custom field to populate another custom field

Question

I have been searching the community but haven't found exactly what I am looking for, so hopefully I can get a bite reaching out through here.

Currently, our team uses "t-shirt" sizing to equate to a level of effort. In the past this has been fine. Now, I am trying to create an automation that will help our team equate the t-shirt sizing to actual level of effort.

What I am wanting to accomplish and clearly failing at is this:

If custom field "T-shirt size" equals to "small", then set numerical custom field "Level of Effort" to "5"

Is this something that is possible to do in Automation? I am VERY new to Jira, but would love to make this work if possible.

Yes, this is something that can be done via automation and it should be fairly straightforward to do. I would trigger on field changed on the t-shirt field and then use the IF/Else condition to change the other field corresponding to the size picked. Your automation would look something like this:
