In next gen, how do I create an Automation that will add an issue to an epic when it is created

[Deleted user]

I'm trying to create an Automation rule that will add an issue to a certain epic when it is created.  I've added a "Edit issue fields" component to my rule, and selected "Epic link" from the "Choose fields to set".  I've tried entering the Epic id (REPN-139) directly, or the "create new" option, but neither work.  Both give me an error saying that REPN-139 isn't of type Epic, but it is.  Any idea what I might be doing wrong here?  How should I configure this rule so that it does put the new issue into the REPN-139 epic?

Here's a screenshot of what the drop down shows when I type in REPN-139 - I've tried both options to no avail:

Here's the error I see in the Audit log:
