Automation not triggering Automation

[James]

So I created an automation to update the start date of a blocked task based on the due date of the blocking task. This works great.

Now I want to update the end date of the blocked task recently updated start date based on the days estimated to complete. 

So the first trigger is working, but when the start date is updated it is not pick up for the  second automation. 

Any suggestions would help. 

Also does anyone know how to use a parameter for a value? 

ex: {{issue.Start Date.plusSeconds(issue.original estimate)}}

Hello @James 

In your second automation rule (the one that is not running) look at the Rule Details page and the checkbox labeled Allow Rule Trigger. This is below the Projects field.

Make sure that box is checked. Otherwise it cannot be triggered by actions that are executed by other rules.

Thanks @Trudy Claspill , always something simple!

As that is a different topic than your original post, please start a new Question and provide a full copy of the automation rule you are developing. That will get your new question visible to the whole community also, rather than to just me and anybody watching your original Question.
