How to create related links to epics child(only stories) automatically when stories are updated

Question

Hello,

I have created Jira automation.

When any story updated, all stories which are of same epic. Will be linked with related link.

Automation creates duplicate link which should not happens.

For first story when its updated related links created properly.

But for second story when its updated it will create related links for those stories which already have related link with same story.

Please help, If this can be avoided.

Second rule:

Hello @Pallavi Deore

In your original post, you mention that your trigger is "Issue updated", in your recent comment, you mention Epic Created/Few stories created.. Can you please share a screenshot of your current rule so we can help.

Also as previously mentioned, you dont need to do this. Epic has inherent relationship with its child issues. However you think this "linking" will benefit, you could achieve the same without doing this step. I guess, Can you tell what will you gain doing this?

I am struggling with applying condition in jira automation.

My top rule is when epic created under that few stories should be created and all those stories should be interlink with related link.

Can you please suggest how i can link those stories.
