Using Automation to Link issues in a workflow with Smart Values or Issue ID

FR Jira Dev

I currently have an Automation workflow that creates multiple tasks and subtasks. The option to created linked issues(and then pick the blocked option) exists, but only to pick the issue from the trigger value or the most recently created issue to create a link.

Is there a way to use a smart-value or simply an issue key which is in the text below the Issue field to link to an issue that is in the flow but is neither the trigger or previously created issue.

@FR Jira Dev,

You can use Smart Values in the link issues action. Please see the example below:

Just type the smart value into the box and then click on the pop up that shows.

@Kian Stack Mumo Systems this is great, is there a way to do this with is blocked by though?

What I am doing within a subtask I create, I want to choose a field to set, linked Issue, and I am not given the "is allocated" or the issue key or download (1).jpg smart value options.

Try using the "Create issue" action.
