Is it possible to reflect a change that happens in a task in project A to a task in project B?

Question

If I have a task "a" in project "A" and a task "b" in project "B", is there anyway if someone updated the task "a" in project A for example added a comment or moved it to "in progress" , that the same update happened to task "a" to happen to task "b" in project "B" immediately?

is there a YouTube tutorial of the related question that you could suggest to me? I'm new to automation in Jira.

Hey @Amani Abed Al Raheem

Good day!

You would need to find a relation between the issues and use an automation rule that will search for the related issue and copy the values.

Here is an example rule:

Make sure to use the "Edit issue fields" action and choose the fields that you would like to copy and then use "Copy from Trigger issue"

You can also Copy the status to the linked issues:

Also, set the Scope of the rule to "Global" from the Rule details section so this can work across different projects.

I hope this helps :)  Let me know if you have any more questions.
