Copy a field from story to bug

Operations Team
May 13, 2026

I am creating a Jira automation to copy the Dev Owner field from the Story issue type to the Bug issue type. However, the field value is not getting copied correctly. The automation shows a successful result, but instead of updating the Bug, it is removing the Dev Owner value from the Story itself.

Hi @Operations Team 

Don't use a branch as this runs parallel, and actions or results in the branch can't be used in the main actions of an automation rule.

You need to use a lookup action, see this community post for guidance; https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-questions/How-to-update-custom-field-with-value-from-linked-issue/qaq-p/2898997 \
