How to assign values to issues in lookupIssues or linkedIssues

[Fredborg_ Bo _EMR_MSOL_RYDK_]

Hi, I have a Discovery Project where i want a custom field (LRE) to be updated when a linked issue (Epic) in another project has its Original Estimate updated. 

For me it seems natural to use the trigger "issue updated" or "field value changed" on the source, i.e. the Epic. While having this setup I cannot figure out how to assign values to the destination project (Discovery Project). 

Using lookup issues as shown below, the lookupIssues holds the right idea from the Discovery Project, but I can not figure out how to assign a value to idea, e.g. like {{lookupIssues.get(0).LRE}}. It seems like Edit issue will only operates on the Epic. I also tried using branch rule but without any luck.

Welcome to the community.

This should work and I made a test using story point and this works.

See example rule I made.

M again, based on Original Estimate my above option will not function.

I have also a solution for this.

The trigger of the rule needs to be on the field "Time Tracking" and you need to create a field on the JPD project as well, based on text if you want the "Original Estimate" from the Epic to show the hour/day/week abbreviation besides the number

The rule stay the same from the start, jst make sure to use the "Time Tracking" field as the trigger.

Within the branch create a variable based on: {{triggerissue.timetracking.originalEstimate}}

The set the Edit to the new field on the JPD, by using the variable (in htis case, I named it {{time}}

Rule:
