Automation trigger linked issue doesn't work

Hi,

I have plenty of automations that clone an issue A to another project (so we get issue B) and link both issues (direction A->B). Unfortunately the asset references won't be cloned (IMO it's a bug...) so I created one new automation with trigger "issue linked" that should set the asset custom fields of the desinationIssue based on the values of the Issue. So the first automation triggers the second one but that doesn't work well.

To set the asset custom field of issue B in the second automation I have to use a branch (because issue B is the "destinationIssue").

The automation starts (so get triggered from the first one) and the protocol entry shows that it gets both of the issues right, but then in the branching part it doesn't find any issues.

Is this kind of a cache problem? Any idea?

Actually it does work when I link an issue manually not by using the first automation. So it has to be something between the first and second automation.

Make sure that you have checked "Allow rule trigger" under rule details on the second automation that runs on issue linked.

I did and the log proves this. The rule is triggered, that's not the problem.

(unfortunately - it would be the easy solution ;-))

Hi @lh_2023 

can you show the details of the Branch-Action?

Sure, it's just "Edit issue fields":

I meant the actual branch "Für Zielvorgang"

Odd. Looks normal to me and should work as intended.

Yeah I think so too. So maybe it’s something like a cache problem?
