To update "Blocked By" through automation when a blocked by relation is created between 2 tickets

Lokeshpurohut

What I want is to achieve is this;

When issue "B" is blocked by issue "A" then

In the field "Blocked by" of ticket "B" automatically update with issue A .

So far, I created and added the "Blocked by" field which is different than the issue links "is blocked by". I want this to be updated when we create a "blocks" relation from A to B or "is blocked by" relation from B to A.

But I am not able to achieve this by automation.
I tried using Trigger "Issue linked" but failed to do so.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community !!

"Blocked by" Is this a Custom Field which you want to update?

@Lokeshpurohut ,

You need to add the automation rule like this to update the your Blocked by custom field

In the Edit Issue use the smart value to get the source issue or destination lssue key in the custom field

{{issue}} - source issue,
{{destinationIssue}} - for destination issue

Accept the answer if it helps

Thank you for the answer. That clarifies I am on right track.

Your answer helped me 50%

I put this in the field. {{issue}} blocking {{destinationIssue}}

It really updates the {{issue}} "Blocked by" field.

I want the "Blocked by" field of {{destinationIssue}} to be updted. Both of them have this field.

If A blocks B
then Blocked by or any other field I wanto update in Issue B. Because we want to know in Jira swimlane view what is blocking B, even if A is in some other sprint or backlog we may not want to see that.

Hi @Lokeshpurohut ,

For that you need to add Branch Rule /Related Issue Component and then action component like this
