How can I use Jira automation to link issues with the same fix version?

[Michele Ma]

I want to manually trigger the follow from a Release type ticket:

1. Look up issues of a certain type in the same fix version of the trigger issue
2. Link the results to the trigger issue

I tried using Lookup: type=task AND fixversion={{version.name}}

Hello @Michele Ma 

Welcome to the community. Can you tell why do this and what value add will this do?

Please see my below post in how to do this (with few modifications on trigger / lookup criteria / link type) but why do this when fixVersion by itself can query these for you. Just seems like unnecessary work..

I have people on the team who like to be able to see it linked on the ticket (but I agree with you that it's not really necessary)

I tried this but it doesn't work:

Hi @Michele Ma 

Use below clause to search

fixVersion = {{issue.fixVersions.name}}

Also, You have to do this incrementally to make sure you are making progress else you can pause and investigate.

So after your lookup action, do a new action and log below smart value to confirm you have results.

{{lookupIssues.key}}

that worked!  Thank you so much!
