Hello @Shani Levi 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

When asking for help with an Automation Rule it will help us help you if you provide screen images showing the full automation rule, details of each step, and the details of the Rule Details page. If the rule is executing but not doing what you want/expect, then also provide the details from the Audit Log showing all the messages generated when the rule runs.

What exactly do you want to update in the Story?

Hello @Shani Levi 

Based on the image you provided for your current Automation rule, the flow you want is:

When a change is made to an HL Epic issue type

Then update a field in the grandchild issues (Story under Features that are under HL Epic)

Do you need some information from the Feature issues?

If not, then instead of using a For: Children branch I recommend you use a For: Related Issues: JQL branch. Using JQL you can directly retrieve the grandchild Story issues.

Hi Shani - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I would create one rule to do the top level, and then a second rule to do the next level down.
