{{destinationIssue.status}} = "To Do" not recognizing in JQL

[Jeff Brink]

Hello,

I'm just trying to be able to change the status of linked issues together.

If I link a support ticket to an actual issue I want it to copy the newly linked issue's status ('To Do' or 'In Progress') to my support ticket's status.

What is wrong here?

My original query is:

{{destinationIssue.status}} = "In Progress"

In the above pictures I've tried 

{{destinationIssue.status.name}} = "In Progress"

which seems to get the match I want (In Progress = "In Progress"), yet isn't passing somehow

.

Hi, @Jeff Brink 

JQL is not programming language, no need to use this comparing. You have to use JQL like you wrote in your post:

{{destinationIssue.status}} = "In Progress"

What's the problem with it?

It's not working as I said in my post. 

If I do {{destinationIssue.status}} = "In Progress"

The event never gets fired because it doesn't meet the criteria for whatever reason
