Automation: Branch not editing lookupIssues, but triggerIssue

Question

Hi There

What am I doing worng here?

The objective is to loop through a list of looked-up issues and comment on each of the lookup issues.

For some reason this automation does not loop through the lookup issues, but comments on the trigger issue multiple times.

I am obviously missing something

I tried branching with both smart values and JQL. The JQL option gives and error.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated

This appears to be a duplicate of your earlier question, possibly caused by the connectivity issue you noted:

Hi @van den Bergh, Marius, Vodacom (External) - Rather than a Lookup Issues action, I would recommend creating a JQL branch using the query in your Lookup Issues action.  It will be more efficient and should deliver the desired results.
