Linking by Smart Value

[E]

Good afternoon Jira Community,

I cannot for the life of me get this automation to work. Its a test, so its very simple.

---

When manually triggered by any logged in user,

Create a new Epic in Same Project

For Most Recently created Issue
|    \
|       \ Create smart value variable named {{EpicIssueKey}}, value {{issue.key}}.
|
|

Create a new Story in same project
Linked Issue, blocks, {{EpicIssueKey}}
Epic Link, {{EpicIssueKey}}

Create a new Story in same project
Linked Issue, blocks, {{EpicIssueKey}}
Epic Link, {{EpicIssueKey}}

I was doing this as a test, because I need it to make a MUCH bigger set of issues, linked in certain ways - and this was me experimenting with linking them together this way. As some of those issues are going to have children, which have children, which then also have children. Epic - Story - Task - SubTask

Can someone point out where I'm going wrong?

When I added some logging I didnt find anything failing to work.. Just working normally but not assigning the links.

Below are images, logs and json export for help.

Pastebin for the json export (Prettied with Prettier v3.3.3)

Hi @E and welcome to the Community!

To create parent - child links between stories and their parent Epic, you should use the Parent field instead of Epic Link. The epic link has been replaced with Parent quite some time ago in Cloud.

Hope this helps!
