If a Story's End date is after the End date of the Epic defined in field "Epic link" - reported

[Carola Tietz]

Hi Community, 

I have already tried to come up with a solution through the different community questions and found one very similar but I keep failing at one point. I have attached a screenshot of the current automation. 

The following problem accours:

inconsistency of planned Story End date versus End date in parent Epic shall be reported to be able to fix it. 

If a Story's End date is after the End date of the Epic defined in field "Epic link" then this shall be reported. In the request from my co-workers was have a list shown. I decided an Email should be send might be better. As can be seen in the example. I created a SmartValue  and to be checked later within the Epic End Date. So the system is able to check those two dates with each other. I've tried "due date", I also have tried different spellings. Nothing has worked. 

As you can see on the last picture, from the audit log, it seems to be a success but it never sends out an Email. The provided issues are examples from myself to test this. 

It seems not to compare the smart value with the end date in the epic. Please know, that this is my first time with smart values and I'm new to the project at this company. So I'm not sure what level or stage of Project this is. I only  know so far that we arent't allowed to change workflows. templates, screens, fields. 

I'm used to be able to change all of that. But this project is very restricted. So my only options seems to be automations.

Thanks to anyone who is able to help me solve this.
