Hi @Jack Brickey  Thanks for the reply, I'm poor in finding smart values and we checked with Script runner team for support on this and they said Atlassian cloud has restrictions" This happens because of the Jira Cloud limitation that it has and it`s architecture doesn`t allow us to create something like this." , so started looking to approach with Jira Automation . Can you please help. Thanks

Have you attempted using the Related issues condition? I have not attempted as yet but I believe. It should be possible. Your JQL would need to use smart value to search the URL field of previously created issues based on the URL in the current issue.
