Can I have automation add a label when a specific issue type is changed to something else?

[Scrilla]

I am looking to add a label to a card when the issue type changes (is moved) from a feature request type into an epic/story. But I don't know how to check if it was a feature request type prior to the trigger (the issue type field change).

Does this work?

Create two rules:

1. Feature Request created
   • Trigger - issue created
   • Condition - type = Feature request'
   • Action - edit issue and add label "FeatReq"
2. Issuetype Changed

Oh...forgot to add condition in second rule to check if Labels contains FeatReq

Thanks Jack, 

I ended up having a required field of which team the requester is apart of on the feature request screen, and using that as the condition for when the issue type changes to add the label. It works only because that field isn't on any other type, so doesn't run the risk of not being empty for the other issue types.
