I would like to automate creating a link for a Story/Task based on the value in the Epic Link. We use both Structure and Advanced Roadmaps so we need both the Epic Link (and Parent Link for other issues in the hierarchy). Here are the steps that I am trying to automate:

I would greatly appreciate any help that can be given. I have searched everywhere for examples of this type of automation with no luck!
Hello @Tammy Lanius
Welcome to the Atlassian community.
Something like this should work:
Trigger: Field value change: Epic Link
Condition: Epic Link field is not empty
Action: Link Issue
Link type: "is child of"
Link to: {{issue.Epic Link}}
I don't have an environment where I can test that out, because I'm working with Jira Cloud rather than Jira DC, so I'm not 100% sure it will work. Try it and let us know if you run into problems.
There are a couple of cases you haven't included in your specifications:
- Epic Link is change from one Epic to a different Epic
- Epic Link is cleared
