Hi Community, I have question related to linking issues through Jira automation

Question

I have an issue with issue's summary eg. 646791-1 which is moved to status done column.

Now another new issue is created with a same summary 646791-1 but with different project key which jira takes care automatically.

I want to link these two issues as they are similar except project key

and this has to be automated every time i populate the jira board with new list of issues

that verifies or compares issues with done status list and creates link by relates to automatically.

this way i can maintain a chain of link everytime similar summary of issues are created.

Help me how to do in automation.

Hi @NAREIN CM

First I apologize for my late response. I was out of order the last week, but I am happy to share my solution with you now, which might fit your requirements.

Instead of comparing two smart values, please try the following approach with a JQL branch rule:

For the Edit Issue action you can then choose your favorite link type for the linked issues field of the trigger issue:

Please let me know, if this is the solution you were looking for :)

Hi @Chris K thanks for the reply. But i missed to give some more details i believe,

please below two screenshot. i want the issue summary for the newly created issue to verify with the already completed or done issue's summary. If they both match then the end result has to create an action to link both.
