Linking two issues based on two exact or similar summary info

[NAREIN CM]

Hi Community, can help me out creating Jira automation for the following:

1. Once new issue is created, it must check the summary data with the existing issues in the project

2. If the summary data for the newly created and existing issues matches

3. Then link these two issues.

Note: If there is no direct method to compare to summary field values. what other methods i could use? and give me step by step that i could follow.

It may not be exactly your used case, but it's pretty close in my get you to your end goal. There are other posts as well so you might do a search using the search bar above.

Hi @NAREIN CM , I will try to take a look at it later today. In the meantime, can you tell me what the automation log indicates when the rule is triggered? I am assuming that it simply says no actions performed, but don't like to assume.
