Hi @Zhongshu Li - From your description, it seems like your automation rule scope is set to single project and you need it to be multiple project or global.  Take a look at your rule details screen.  If this is the case, you'll need to make the adjustment under system >> Global Automations (you need to be a Jira Admin for this).

I'm also noting that this question is tagged with Jira-Server and the article you've referenced is for cloud.  I'm not completely familiar with the limitations, but note that Server may be lacking some of the capabilities of Cloud.
