Question

How can I create an automation when a defect is created, update some fields based on linked story's status?

I already create one, but this is updating the story instead of defect. I would like to update the defect based on story's status, then I will know the defect is created correct.

Currently automation updating the story instead of defect:

Hi @Fernando Zeni Alvarenga -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

When you want to update the just-created story based on the status of the linked issues, your have several options without branching to the linked issues:

* use a related issues condition to check the linked issues
* use smart value, list filtering on {{issue.issuelinks}} and the smart value condition
* use the Lookup Issues action with JQL to gather the relevant linked issues, and then use smart value conditions to check the results

After any of those, you could then edit the trigger issue.

Kind regards,
Bill

In branch try Affected by instead of Affects.

HI @Fernando Zeni Alvarenga ,

You can try looking at the other  way  using almost the same automation you have. For example, trigger by when the story its linked to the bug then branch to the bug and update the bug. Hope this helps.
