Automation loop problem

Mario Amaya_vt319q

Hey guys, I'm trying to create an automation where you transition a ticket to a specific status, it will automatically create a ticket replicated in a Jira Software project, the problem is that everytime that the ticket moves again to the same status it will run the automation again, how can I avoid that? 

 

I mean, when the automation is already triggered once, don't do it again, because it will create as many new tickets as you transition to the status.

Thanks guys

The way I do it is that I check for a specific link type that I use when creating additional issues, and if they exist then the automation will not execute past that check. You can also add something in the summary field of the issue that you create and check if that issue already exist if you do not want to use a specific link type.
