Link issue to the existing using jira automation rule

[shriya]

Hello Team,

Could you share the automation rule field to choose for linking a issue( bug) to the epic ?

I am trying to do it as shown in image, but unable to add "jira issue key ".

I observe only two options here -

trigger issue or more recent issue. I need customize field to add issue key.

Hi @shriya 

For a question like this, context is important for the community to help.  Please post the following:

• what type of project is this (e.g., company-managed, team-managed, etc.), 
• an image of your complete automation rule in a single image for continuity,
• images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches,
• an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and
• explain what is not working as expected and why you believe that to be the case.

Until we see those...

Are you trying to link the Bug as a child issue to the Epic or use another type of linking?

• When making the Bug a child of the Epic, set the Bug's parent field to the Epic's key.
• Otherwise, try using the Link Issues action and typing in the Epic's key.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the response.

We are working on implementing CI/CD framework with Jira integration with Github & Xray. 

Scenario - Based on test execution status , on failure bug is raised and I need to link it automatically with EPIC/parent/test execution. Jira issue (bug) is raised from Github actions using API. 

I am commenting bug number on Jira issue/parent which triggers Jira automation rule to link the bug .

Jira automation rule -

As shown in the above pic, instead of "Trigger issue"   or  "Mostly recently created issue" I want to add "jira key".

Could you suggest an example on "Link issue action" ?

Thanks,

Shriya

When you have a smart value with the key, it may be typed into that field for the Link Issues action.  The smart value will appear below the field, and then it may be selected for use.

Hi @shriya 

Try adding a Branch to capture the most recently created issue.
