Hello @Umar testing 

When asking for help with an automation rule it is important that you show us the rule you have constructed so far. Without that we are missing vital context and details needed to offer you advice on how to change the rule.

Please show the rule you have constructed so far.

@Trudy Claspill thankls for your response 

see thats how I am trying to construct the the rule.I am not sure this logic will fullfill the requirements or no

@Trudy Claspill I will explain you in details 

I have two issue types in my project 

and 1 subtask

Issue type 1= Backend tasks

Issues type 2 = Front end tasks

 now when backend status turns to done 

the 1st automation runs and it automatically create front end task and linked with backend task

now we have backend task which create frontend task and they are linked 

Now whenever the subtask is created under frontend task that subtask must automatically link with the backend task from where the frontend task was created automatically. link type can be relate

You have said that when the Backend Task transitions then an Automation Rule runs to create the Front End Task and link the Front End Task to the Backend Task.

What is the link type between those two tasks?

Does the Front End Task get linked to any other issues using that same link type?

@Trudy Claspill link type is relate

And front end only  link to the backend task From where it comes automatically when we transition backend done.Now I want when the subtask create under frontend that subtask will link automatically to the backend task from where the frontend comes

This will work.

At 1, you need to specify the task type you use for Subtasks.

At 2, you need to enter the text that matches the issue type name you use for Front End Task.

At 3, the rule is looking for any issues linked to the subtask's parent.

At 4, the rule is confirming that there is only 1 issue linked to the subtask's parent.

At 5, the rule is linking the subtask to the issue its parent is linked to.
