How to use the "Link issues" in the Automation? Very useless!

[flourish_x_yang]

This function is assumed to link 2 issues, but you see, how can I link this issue to another one? It can only select "Trigger issue" which is the issue itself, very useless; or select "Most recently created issue" which is very vague. Isn't it very useless? How can I don't which one exactly it is?

It's expected we can select another issue, why don't you implement it in this kind of straightforward and easy to understand way?

Hello @flourish_x_yang 

As per the documentation:

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-automation-actions/

...you can also enter an issue key or use a smart value. Just start typing the value into the field.

Can you provide us with screen images showing your entire automation rules? Can you provide more information about what you are trying to accomplish in your rule?

@Trudy Claspill Thanks for replying. Here is the screenshot.

I want to add a task into this rule:

when a issue is created and if it's Epic type, link this issue to another issue.

Maybe the version is old, it can't support this new function? I can't see the function you provided. When I select new action, I can only see the function like the screenshot I provided.
