Automation to sync the status of ideas and epics

[Emerson]

Hi, everyone!

I'm trying to build an automation that changes the status of epics to "DISCARDED" or "ABORTED" when I update a Product Discovery idea to the same status.

DISCLAIMER: The sync when I change it to "DISCARDED" already works fine, but the change to "ABORTED" doesn't work yet.

Hi @Emerson 

Jira Product Discovery (JPD) Ideas connect to their "discovery tickets", such as Epics, using issue links and not the parent / child relationship.  Please try using linked issues branch for the correct type to find the Epics.

Next, you are trying to detect changes in the JPD project to update issues in other project types, such as a software project.  And so the rule scope must be multiple-project or global.  Your Jira Site Admin will need to help do that from the global automation settings.

Kind regards,
Bill
