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

Create a new Action by clicking CREATE button
Enter a name: Get Linked Issue and click CREATE
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
Select Authentication method: Basic Auth, specify a user with comment and browse permissions
Add request headers, key: Content-Type with value application/json
Click Triggers tab
Select ISSUE COMMENTED event
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".
Click SAVE
(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:

	"self": "https://support.rixter.se/rest/api/2/issue/12837",

						}
					}
				}
			}
		]
	}
}

Part 2 - Get the last comment (this step will in the future be replaced by a smart function)

Create a new Action by clicking CREATE button
Enter a name: Get Last Comment and click CREATE
Select Method: GET and URL: <your_base_url>/rest/api/2/issue/{{issue.key}}/comment
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/{issueIdOrKey}/comment
A new section called Variables is now displayed. On this section enter the
1. Variable name: inwardIssue and the JSON Path: $.fields.issueLinks[0].inwardIssue.key
  
  The JSON path will return a variable with the value of the last comment
Select Authentication method: Basic Auth, specify a user with browse permissions
Add request headers, key: Content-Type with value application/json
Click SAVE

This will create a chained action that will be triggered directly after the response from the parent action is received. The response will be used as input variables this call using JSON Path expressions.
A new section called Variables is now displayed. On this section enter:
1. Variable name: lastComment and the JSON Path: $.comments[-1:].body
  The JSON path will return a variable with the value of the linked issue key.
Select Method: POST and URL: <your_base_url>/rest/api/2/issue/{{inwardIssue}}/comment
note that we now use the inwardIssue in the URL that we post to.
From the Atlassian REST API we can read to comment on an issue we need to call POST /rest/api/2/issue/{{issue.key}}/comment
Select Authentication method: Basic Auth, specify a user that has comment permission in the project
Add request headers, key: Content-Type with value application/json
