I am using below automation flow to get max value of due date from subtasks and then copy it to the parent task . But parent task is always getting updated with null value .
Hi @anu.m
The variable is only available within the branch.
To find it from within the main rule, you can use Lookup Issues. The Actions should be...
^ You could also try using the smart value in the "Edit issue" action directly, i.e {{lookupIssues.Due date.max}}

No, that is not possible.
First thing, branches on one-and-only-one issue (e.g., branch on parent) get run in-line, as if there was no branch.
Branches which could be on multiple issues/things (e.g., JQL, linked issues, etc.) are run asynchronously and in parallel.
There is no guarantee when the branch will end or the order of processing...right up to the last step in the rule.

Next, because of the multi-issue branch, creating a variable in the branch means it will not be visible outside of the branch...it will be repeatedly recreated from scratch and thrown away with each loop.
I suggest you to open an issue at Atlassian Support, it might be that there is a solution or it will be placed as a fearture on the ira backlog
This worked . Thanks
Can you share the resulting automation completed so we can visualize it?
