- Issue Link
You can define the link type to defined which issues exactly will be affected by the operation. - Parent / Sub-Task
The related issue is either parent or sub-task of each other. - Epic / Issue in Epic
This is only applicable, if you have JIRA Software installed.
The other issue is either the epic related by an epic link, or it is part of an epic.

Other workflow modules do not have source and destination, so you just define the issue relation, which will apply for that workflow module.
For example Create a Linked Issue will just create a new issue and then connect it with some Issue Relation to the issue in transition.
Restrictions
Please use some common sense what can and what cannot work.
Some examples:
- Copy Value From Other Field Post-Function there should be only 1 source issue. Otherwise it is not clear from which the value will be read. (The current implementation will just pick one of them and ignore the rest. Which one is not defined - sort of random.)
- If you use Create a Linked Issue to create a new sub-task, you must also configure this post function to create the new issue as an issue type of a sub-task and make sure the target project is the same as the one of the issue in transition.
Some of these restrictions are mentioned within the options to configure the issue relation.
We try to perform whatever is possible. In case of problems, the workflow module will still run through, but write a message into the log file. See Troubleshooting how to turn on the full logging for JSU. It might be a good idea to do this while you test any new workflow configuration to make sure you're not missing any thing.
