Jira automation: add comment with link to cloned issue

Question

Hi,

We've got following automation in our JSD project:

After issue is cloned, we'd like to add a link to cloned issue as a comment in original issue. We can't figure out what smart value should we enter to link to the newly cloned issue?

@Arkadiusz Alicki - I see that your automation is combined with branches.. Maybe that is a problem since information in branches usually stay in branches so I recommend to first check simple automation of cloning a ticket, linking and commenting to check it this smart value is overall working

Hi @Arkadiusz Alicki

I think that this might be helpful

Basically it might be

Inward Issue is {{issue.issuelinks.inwardIssue}}

Outward Issue is {{issue.issuelinks.outwardIssue}}

Please give it a try!
