Copy field from Parent Link custom field valuse to initiative using automation

[Danielle Dionne]

I am trying to use the automation tool to get a custom field value from the Parent Link associated to an initiative ticket.

• Get "Category" from Parent Link and enter Parent Link Category value to Category (same field) in initiative. 

Every time I try to run the rule via "Edit Issue and Copy from Parent" the audit log says "Can't find issue to copy from labels" 

I believe I need to do the following:

• trigger: issue updated, parent link changes
• condition: parent link is not empty
• condition: issue type equals Initiative
• action: create variable, such as named varParent.customfield_11809
  , initialized to null
• branch: on JQL where key = {{triggerIssue.parent}}
  • action: create the same variable again, such as named varParent.customfield_11809, setting it to {{issue.customfield_11809}}
• condition: {{varParent.customfield_11809}} does not equal null  (see note below)
• action: edit issue to set the labels to the created variable, {{varParent.customfield_11809}}  To do this, you will need to type in the value, and then select it.

But it doesn't actually add the value:
