Automation rule error: Could not find issue by id or key. (parent)

[Marija Akmacic]

I am new to JIRA Automations and have created a rule that initially schedules the creation of a Task. Following this, a Sub-task is supposed to be created and linked to its parent Task. While everything else works as intended, I'm encountering difficulties in the final step of linking the Sub-task to the Task within the same automation rule.

Hi, @Marija Akmacic 

Welcome to Atlassian Community.

To link subtask to parent task, created by rule,  you need to make a branch in rule, and select there "Most recently created issue"
