get updates from linked issues through automation

Hi I'm trying to set an automation that should get all the updates from linked issues to the current issues.
Details:
Let's say there are 2 software projects, project A and B.
in Project A a new issue will be created, then the issue will be cloned in project B.

When there's any updated in the cloned issue from Project B I would like to see the updates on the issue created in project A.

Does anyone have any idea how to, or if it's possible to create such a rule?

Hi, @Teodor Hoza welcome to the community!

Based on your description I have created similar rules for my clients. I believe this structure can give you guidance:

1st Rule: Clone to Project B

When: Issue Created

If: Project equals Project A

Then: Clone issue into Project B

Define an issue link type that will be used in 2nd rule

2nd Rule: Sync to Project A

When: Issue Updated

If: Project equals Project B

Branch rule / related issues: Linked issues Types: <linking issue type from 1st rule>

Then: Edit issue Fields <Copy from Trigger issue>

The only issue is that it won't allow me to run this, as I'm trying to avoid creating global rules, so I went for the HTTP REQUEST approach which suits me better but the downside is that I will have to make clones of this automation rule.

However Alex, your approach is very useful, therefore I will accept your answer!
