Automation to change status on linked issues

Question

Hello!

I'm trying to create an automation rule that will update the status of an issue to that of a linked issue.  Both issues are in the same project.

Example:  Issue 1 is created.  Issue 2 is created and linked (not child issue) to issue 1.  I'd like an automation rule that will update the status of Issue 1 to that of Issue 2 (when the status of Issue 2 changes/any status).

All I have so far is:

When: Issue linked (Types: All link types)

Issue Type equals (Issue 2)

Thanks!

I figured it out with the help of Atlassian support.

If it helps anyone else here:

I didn't need the "Issue to Copy Value from" section filled out at all.  It should look like this:

Issue Type is one of was specific to my need but can be left out.

I've also tried this and it's not working:

@Joseph Chung Yin, thanks.

I've changed the above to:

When: Issue linked (Types: Relates, Defect)

Issue Type equals (Issue 2)

Then: Transition the issue to (?)

I'm confused by the "Issue to copy value from."

I know I don't want Parent or Epic.  If I want the status of Issue 1 to be changed when the status of Issue 2 changes, is this my Current, Trigger or Destination issue?

Thanks.
