Let's add the same comment to the linked issue.

Assumption

In our TESTB project, we got two issues linked together with inward "is caused by". When we comment on the issue it shall add a comment to the linked issue as well.

Steps

Part 1 - Get the linked issue

1. Create a new Action by clicking CREATE button
2. Enter a name: Get Linked Issue and click CREATE
3. Select Method: GET and URL: <your_base_url>/rest/api/2/issue/{{issue.key}}?fields=issuelinks
   From the Atlassian REST API we can read that to fetch issue links by getting the issue JSON and further filter it by fields=issuelinks. call GET /rest/api/2/issue/{{issue.key}}?fields=issuelinks
   
4. Select Authentication method: Basic Auth, specify a user with comment and browse permissions
5. Add request headers, key: Content-Type with value application/json
6. Click Triggers tab
7. Select ISSUE COMMENTED event
8. On JQL Condition. When to execute the event(s) write project = TESTB AND issueLinkType = "is caused by"  to limit the trigger to the TESTB project and only the direction of "is caused by".
9. Click SAVE
10. (Optional) Click Test button (no issue key is needed) to and click Send, Then go Log Tab.

Each result will have a response like the one below:
