How to fix broken create issue automation rule?

Question

I've tried to create an issue in a different project using automation and it fails for the following errors. The Date needed field gets filled out when the new issue creation window opens. See the picture below the audit screen.

Here is the flow I created.

If you choose the Assignee field at the Create Issue, you can choose "Copy for trigger issue". Is that the solution for the Assignee field for you? Regards, Marco

Marco,

I hve been able to solve the first problem of my rule. It turns out you need to have the automation rule set the required field. This allows for the issue to be created which then allows for the issue to be linked back to the triggering issue. Now I have to solve how to get the rule to correctly assign the issue to the same assignee in the trigger issue and get an automation rule in the the project where the new issue has been created to set a custom field after it has been created.

Hi,
You want to create an issue in project PR via the automation rule. But because the field "Date Needed" is mandatory when creating an issue in project PR, the issue is not created and that is what the first error says.

And I think that also gives you the 2nd error, that there is no issue to link.
