This article explains how to create a linked issue with JSU’s [Create a Linked Issue post function](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSUCLOUD/pages/12518348) and append/prepend the Summary of the newly created issue from the post function.

## Instructions

1. Navigate to** Project settings > Workflows > Edit**.
2. Select the transition that you want to trigger the post function**, **and** **then select **Post Functions > Add post function.**
3. Select the *Create a Linked Issue(JSU)* post function then select **Add**.
4. Configure the post function as shown below, where the **Copy/Set Fields** are added using a [sub-function](https://beecom-products.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSUCLOUD/pages/27801874/Create+a+Linked+Issue+Post-Function#Sub-functions%3A-choose-your-field-configurations) and publish the workflow.

> ℹ️ In the example above, I added two **Create A Linked Issue **post functions to show the append and prepend functionality defined within the sub-function.

4. Verify the output of the configuration that you have made, as shown below:

> ℹ️ If you want to add the post function on a Create issue transition, position the post functions below **Re-index an issue to keep indexes in sync with the database **post function. You can do this using the **Up** and **Down** arrows for the corresponding post function.
