"When a defect is created on a Test-Step link this to the Task and the Story" Automation

Nikos Vlachos_gp6181

Hello All,

I am trying to create an automation for a process we have for our testing.

Our Testing team will be using Sub-tasks for each test step and if anything fails they will be creating linked defects from each sub-task. I want to create an automation that will link the defect that is linked to the sub-task to the main task and any related stories that the task has.

I have tried using a branch but it links the sub-task to the task instead of the bug. Can anyone help solve this?

If I use the trigger issue the sub-task will be linked to the task and not the bug.

I haven't managed to find a way to link it to the related story either.

If I try to use the most recently created issue I get the error on the second image.

Hi @Nikos Vlachos ,

Try to use link issue to Destination Issue instead of Trigger Issue.

It only gives me two options.

Either Trigger issue or most recently created issue.

type it manually the smartvalue:

{{destinationIssue}}

That worked! Thank you!

Is there also a way in the same rule to link the defect to a related story?
