automaticcaly link issues at creation using description

Nicolas Gauvin

Hi,

 

We have a need to link issues at creation when they are called (by Key name) in the description or comments.

The goal is to capture data from one group (project) and link them with others.

Tried the automate at creation (trigger) using an "If-then" and "contain" {{issue.key}} with the link action (using the trigger issue).

1) Could I make it work - can automate for Jira do it?

2) Is my approach correct - how to correct it?

Thanks
