Field change automation (check boxes)

Question

Hello!

I'm trying to make an automation based on check boxes field.

Originally, when I create an issue with check boxes marked (for example: 1, 2, 3), it creates me 3 issues (1, 2 and 3)

I'm trying to write:

- if i edit this parent issue and UNMARK 1, issue 1 deletes

- if i edit this parent issue and MARK 1, issue 1 creates one more time

When I do it with one mark, it works, but I have a lot of marks: so when I check this check box field in automation, this two rules (to create and to delete) they work together. In the end happens that If I delete mark 1, other rule for create sees that there are marks 2,3 and create 2 and 3 ONE MORE TIME

Help me, please. I don't know what to do

Values of check boxes I change always in initiative

Originally I create Initiative (thath has these check boxes). Basing on this check boxes I create Epic and tasks in it - with this I'm okay, they are created successfully

My problem is that for edit (and in consequence add a new flag and task) and delete a mark (and in consequence to delete a task) they work at the same time

Maybe I need to add some other If/else to check if other check boxes are not changed and I don't need to creare ONE more task when I try to delete

Hi @Hanna Rybina

what kind of issues are created in relation with the checkbox? Do they have any relation to the original issue (where the checkboxes are set) like parent-chil or issue link?

Fuethermore:
Could you please post a screenshot of your current rules/how far you‘ve come to get a better understanding of your problem and to be able to analyse the problem in more details.

Thanks in advance.

Best
