Open Issue after creating it with manual trigger in Jira automation

Question

I am using jira automation with an manual trigger to create an issue.
After the execution of the script I would like to open the newly created issue.

current steps:
- open source issue in browser (ITEM-A)
- use menu "actions" to start a script configured as manual trigger
- the script creates a new ITEM-B
- the source item is still displayed after the execution of the script

missing step:
- after the execution of the script creating a new item
   this item should be opened/displayed in the browser

Hi Mark, thanks for your lightning fast response.
I was already suspecting, that it would not be possible ; )

My solution (not really solution, but helpful) is to create a link to the trigger item, 
so I can quickly open the created und linked issue.

Hi @Gerald Spernbauer and welcome to the community!

I don't believe this is possible because even though the automation is manually triggered in the foreground, it executes in the background.
