How to Increase bug count to story whenever bug is linked to story

Question

I have custom field as Bug Count in Story. I need to calculate the bug count for each story with help of linked bugs.

For example The bug BDP-2 is blocked by story BDP-1, then increment Bug Count to 1 in Story.

My Project is Company Based Project and My Plan is Standard.

How to do that.

Hello @Gokulapriya Subramani

What problem are you trying to solve by keeping track of the number of linked Big type issues?

Do you have any third party apps on your instance? Some apps add custom field types that could do that for you

Are the linked issues going to be in the same project or different projects?

If the link is removed would you expect the field to decrement?
