STAGIL Advanced Links in Jira Cloud are often assigned custom field properties and functionality which are not exact. Thus, common Automation field-based triggers and actions are not applicable. However, storing data in issue properties enables Advanced Links to be used with a Jira Automation action Set Entity Property. By using smart values it enables us to add key/value to an issue or, in our case, add new links to our Advanced Link field.
