Hi @yusuf Abdul kabir -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

For a question like this, context is important for the community to help.  Please post the following:

* an image of your complete automation rule in a single image for continuity
* images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches
* an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution
* explain what is not working as expected and why you believe that to be the case

Until we see those...

As described by @Pallavi Shirodkar the rule's scope (in the details at the top) impacts how JQL is used in rule actions, branches, etc.  Single-project scope rules can create / clone issues in other projects, but cannot access them in other ways to read / update information.

And so for a scope of a single project, the rule editor automatically adds JQL to limit the scope.  The same applies for a JQL branch where the trigger issues are automatically excluded from the results.

When you want a rule to use a larger scope, your Site Admin will need to help update the rule scope to multiple-project or global from the global rule admin area.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @yusuf Abdul kabir

If the automation rules are created within the project settings Jira will automatically restrict the JQL to that project ID.

Hope this helps!
