so i have 2 projects  - they were set up only using the Relates to Linked issues (work items) field - both are story level issues

Proj 1 is the "Parent" Proj 2 the "child" 

 

i have a field called "control rating" in Proj 2 that shows yes or no - 

i want to be able to quick view in proj 1 if the "child" projects either show yes or no -

 

my conclusion has been to make a field in Proj 1 that is a Paragraph field called related control summary - whenever an issue is linked then the rating gets filled in using lookup item - buut im having trouble getting it to work i have the below as a rough copy would love some feedback

Hello @Max_Clark 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

From which project is the link being created? Is it always created from the Project item or always from the Project 2 item, or could it be from either?

What do you expect this rule to do? What is it actually doing?

Can you provide a screen images of the output in the rule execution log entry? Make sure to click all the ">" characters to ensure all the details are revealed
