Copying status to linked issue

Evan Samlin

I would like to establish an automation such that when I'm viewing issue A and choose to link a new issue B to it with type "Shares PR With", issue B is transitioned to the same status as issue A.

I think I understand that per Jira automation rules, my trigger issue is actually "issue B" and my destination issue is "issue A". So I want to effectively set my trigger issue's status to inherit the destination issue's status. Here's what I have so far (I also want to copy 5 additional field values from issue A to issue B, but this works as expected):

 

I feel like I'm missing something obvious -- can anyone help? Thanks!

Hello @Evan Samlin 
Better to use the JQL branch for DESTINATION Issue.

As in example below, I'm on ISSUE-A  (Backlog) screen and linked issue B (In Progress) with A. With that, B status got changed to Backlog which is of source issue. 
Here the log printed ISSUE B.
