How can I link tickets raised using ticket references used within a customfield using an automation?

[Ethan Bhardwaj]

Hi There, 

So on a form I have created, we have an input box to enter a ticket reference. Once the ticket is submitted I want an automation to select the value entered in that box to be the reference used when linking tickets

if anyone has any further insight on this and how I can achieve this that would be greatly appreciated.

I have resolved this Issue. I wasn't aware you could type out the custom field as the link as the drop-down options weren't clear

Can you share the rule that you have so far and what is not working with it?

@Ethan Bhardwaj Correct me if i'm wrong, do you want to link issues using automation ?

[Ethan Bhardwaj]

@Nicolas Grossi Yes I want to create an automation that triggers once the form is submitted that it takes a custom field value uses the input and links the relevant ticket information automatically. So if a ticket was raised I could enter a ticket reference to another ticket that needs to be linked to the form once I submit the form it will then link that inputted ticket reference.
