Issue type field not getting synced between linked Jira issues

Question

I created a Jira automation rule to sync the issue type in the linked Jira tickets. That means if I change the issue type of  Jira issue 1, that same change should be reflected in Jira issue 2 (Jira issue 1 and Jira issue 2 are linked to each other) and vice versa. Though automation is getting executed successfully, it is not making the required changes.

Rule details:

To be honest, I would recommend you not to do this. You may be lucky enough if the configurations of your issue types are quite similar, but you may be breaking stuff that you are not aware of.

I can't tell you 100% because I haven't tried doing an update like this and I don't even want to try - not even in a test instance. That is simply because I know how many configuration elements depend on the issue type in Jira.

Thanks, @Walter Buggenhout I understand your point, but here I am changing the issue type of the trigger issue by simply selecting the issue type in the drop-down (and not by moving it)

And both the trigger and linked issues are in the same project, so shouldn't it be changing the issue type of the linked issue via the automation run?
