Link a story to another project & story when a label is added.

Question

Hi I am looking to setup an automation where a story in one project is linked or set as relates to another story in a different project when a certain label is added.

- user in Project 1 adds "reactive" as a label to a story

- automation kicks in

- story is linked to story in Project 2

- user can open story in Project 2 and see linked stories from Project 1

Hi @Nick ,

If you start typing where it says "trigger issue" you can enter an issue key.

Hi @Marco Brundel,

Thanks for your reply

That is exactly how I tried to set it up after some research. Seemed simple enough.

My issue comes to the Link issue to: action. My options don't seem to let me link to anything useful. As you can see with the screenshot attached. Maybe a permission thing somewhere?

Hi @Nick ,

I have created an automation rule with the following components:
Trigger = Field Labels is Changed
Issue fields condition = Field Labels contains any of Value Reactive
Action = Link issues relate to TEST-30

Is this what you're looking for?
