My edit rule is as below where 'Effort Accounted' is the custom radio button field I want to set to 'Yes'.

I get the following error in audit logs:

The automation rule is as below (just for reference) and the highlighted step is what fails

Use a branch rule to look up issue with JQL instead of an action.
You can then add the edit field action inside the branch.
If you need to, you can reference the issues via the {{issue}} smart variable.

In the screenshots below, I am looking up an issue with a specific key via JQL, and then updating its Story Points field, based on the sum of its subtasks Story Points fields.
