jira automation incorrectly links my tasks

julia_l5merf

I have a manual automation

I create an EPIC: TEST123

then run my manual automation, this then should create 3 tasks

Then: create a new: TASK "Task 1 Create your project"
For most recently created issue
    then create a new: TASK "Task 2 create your part numbers"
    and: create a new: TASK "Task 3 create your bill of materials"


This works. I now want my tasks to be linked.  

Task 1 Create your project

    Task 2 create your part numbers (LINK TO TASK 1)

    Task 3 create your bill of materials (LINK TO TASK 1)


This is where the problem occurs. Instead I get: 

 

Task 1 Create your project

    Task 2 create your part numbers (LINK TO TASK 1)

        Task 3 create your bill of materials (LINK TO TASK 2)


Even though Task 3 is still under the "For most recently created issue" it should create a link to TASK 1. I cannot get it to work

Hi Julia,

When you link the issues to "Most recently created issue", that is relative to the last issue created.

As you are branching to the first one, Task 1, you could change the link to "Current Issue" as that will refer to the "branched to" issue.

Kind regards,
Bill
