Can I add the link to a duplicated issue in my original issue automatically?

[Javier Peraita]

I have an automation where an issue gets duplicated into a different project. I have added the link to the original issue in the description of the duplicated one.

Is there any way I can automatically add the link of the duplicated issue in the original issue too?

Thanks!

Hi @Javier Peraita ,

There is an action available in the Jira Automation, called "Link Issues" : 

You can use this to Link the issues.

It works! Thank you

Hi @Javier Peraita 

Without seeing your complete rule, my answer would be "maybe".

If you have a simple rule with no conditions or branches, what @Jehan Bhathena described will work to link the issues. 

But if your rule has conditions or branches, AND the issue is created inside of the condition (or branch), it is possible the new issue will not be visible to the rest of the rule for linking.  I recall there is an open defect for this problem/symptom.  Any possible work-arounds will depend on looking at your rule to offer suggestions.

Kind regards,
Bill
