Linking Test issue type to its trigger issue

[Nicola]

Hello!

I would like to ask for help on one rule I am trying to set up please. 

Rule: When an Issue has its Fix Versions field changed it should create a Test in the same project and link it to the Issue that triggered the rule.

However, when I run the automation, the linking part doesn't seem to work. 

The original issue remains and the Test issue also gets created but they are just not linked, which is what I am hoping for.

Can anyone please advise where I am going wrong?  Thanks in advance.

Hi @Nicola welcome to the Atlassian Community! 

You need to go into the second part of your rule and click on "Choose fields to set" 

See below: 

Kind Regards,

No problem, happy to help :)

Sorry just to add onto this - How would I make sure the automation didn't run again if I made the Fix Versions field empty, but then repopulated it again?

So, not creating and linking a new test if the issue got moved to a different Fix Version.
