Problem Definition

With a Rule structured like so, where <Smart Value> has a value, and <Field> starts as empty:

• IF Condition > <Smart Value> is Not Empty
  • Edit Issue Action > <Field> is set to <Smart Value>
  • Re-Fetch Issue Data Action
• IF Condition > <Field> is Empty
  • <Actions>

Both IF Conditions can be passed, because even if the first IF Condition sets the Field to a value, then Re-Fetches Issue Data, the second IF Condition will see that the Field is Empty even though it is no longer Empty, since the Re-Fetch is within the prior IF Condition.

Suggested Solution

Have Re-Fetch Issue Data within a Condition take effect outside of it.
i.e. in the above example, have the first IF Condition's Re-Fetch Issue Data enable the second IF Condition's checking to recognize that <Field> has a value now.

Workaround

Place the Re-Fetch Issue Data Action outside of IF Conditions.
