Automation of verification, cloning, and status changes between two projects

Question

Hello everyone, how's it going?

I need the following help:

Today I have two projects, A and B, and I need that when a story in project A is moved to the testing queue, it checks if there is already an identical story in project B. If so, then only the story in project B should be moved to "in queue."

Now, if there isn't an identical story in project B, then the story from project A should be cloned into project B, and the story in project B should be related to project A.

I've tried several ways, and the most I can do is clone, but I can't implement this verification. I have access to global rules if necessary. Can someone help me, please?

Hello Trudy, thank you.

Today I'm doing it this way; the first branch works properly, the second one doesn't. I've also tried other ways, directly with if-else, but I was not successful.

Thank you, Aron. I can't acquire another application at the moment and need to do this using only automations. I believe the issue is not synchronization, but rather refining the rule I'm trying to use, since I've just started using them and don't know much about how to structure it.

To me, your use case sounds like syncing issues between the two projects.

It may or may not doable with automation rules, but let me note that there are 3 popular apps built for this specific purpose! You may also want to try those.
