How fix my automation to change the status of a task under the same epic?

How do I fix my automation to change the status of a task in correlation to another task's status only under the same epic?

My goal is to automatically change the PCAP - Baseline task to in progress when C&D - Baseline is marked complete but only within the same Epic (baseline in this case)

Some tools I have to work with are,

Labels for PCAP - Baseline task are, Workflow and PCAP

Labels for C&D - Baseline task are, Workflow and C&D

This is what I have so far

and my audit log

Hello @Jeremi Nilsson 

The branch you have specified (For Stories or other issues in Epic) only works when the issue currently in context is an Epic. In your case the issue in context is a child of an Epic.

I would recommend that instead you use the Branch for Related Issues/JQL and use a JQL statement to retrieve the sibling issue.

project=<your project> and "Epic Link" = {{issue.Epic Link}} and Labels = Workflow and Labels = PCAP

Within that branch you can then set the Status value of the found issues. You can either set it to an explicit value, or copy it from the trigger issue using the smart value {{triggerIssue.status}}

(My use of Epic Link in the JQL assumes you are addressing issues in a Company Managed project. If you are working with a Team Managed project the criteria is slightly different.)

Thank you for the response @Trudy Claspill 

Applied the JQL

I got the error below

You need to replace the text <your project> with your actual project key AO.
