Hi @Viresh Kumar 

the result of the Lookup Issues Action are automatically accessible via the smart value {{lookupissues}}

Check out this documentation for more details: Jira smart values - issues | Cloud automation Cloud | Atlassian Support (search for "lookupissues")

You can use the variable action but you could also simply access the smartvalue straight from the if else.

Quick example below. Lookupissues will give you a list of issues. .First will access the first issue in the list.

The If-Conditions look wrong. I think it should be

{{lookupissues.size}} > 0

 

Issuetype = Epic -> this will check the trigger Issue's Issue type. Is that what you want?

Apart from that simply try it out. I am not too sure what you want to achieve from a business point of view so can't really advise any further.
