Thanks @Nicolas Grossi for response. i have already created this rule which increase the count by one when ever new bug is linked. but now i want to update the count of precious linkd issues. because automation return newly linked bugs count.

Hi @Asifa Azad _CW_ -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Rather than increment a counter, I recommend recalculating the count using the Lookup Issues action instead.  That will prevent errors and help when handling the edge cases: deleted issue, issue type changes, etc.

Next to your additional question for updating existing issues...

• Once you have a rule which recalculates the count, that could be cloned (or have the trigger temporarily changed) to use a scheduled trigger with JQL to check if the counter field is set.
• Then let the scheduled rule run until caught up on the existing issues
• Finally disable the cloned rule (or update back to the existing trigger)

Kind regards,
Bill
