Is it possible to transition the parent issue of an Initiative?

My issue hierarchy consists of:

1. Strategic Activity

2. Initiative

3. Epic

4. Story

5. Sub-task

 

I would like to transition the Strategic Activity to the same status that the Initiative transitioned to. I stumbled across this post, however, the JQL branch cannot find any related issues when I tried to replicate it. Another set of eyes would be appreciated!

See screenshot below:

and here's the Smart value for Parent Link in my Atlassian instance:

I would recommend that you add a Log action component after you create the smart value to verify that {{parentLink}} has the right value and then go from there. Based on the audit log I am guessing that {{parentLink}} might be an empty value.

Also, I would remove .data.key and only use {{issue.customfield_12524}} to see if that makes a difference.

Good call on the Log action! The reason the branching could not find any related issues because the 'issuekey' for the parent link was not an 'Initiative' issue type (which is expected as I needed to update the parent of it)!

Also, I did remove '.data.key' and the rule was successful! Thank you @Mikael Sandberg for your help!

Updated variable, although, folks will have to replace the custom field ID.
