Issue Summary

When a work item "A" is added as a Work Item Link in an object "B", and then the work item "A" is canceled, the object "B" Audit Log does not immediately record this change. Later, if someone else saves the remaining object "B" (even without making actual changes), an Audit Log entry is added. However, this entry incorrectly suggests that they were the ones who removed the link at the time of their save, with no indication that it was actually removed earlier due to a cancellation.

This issue is reproducible in Data Center: Yes

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add a work item "A" (Theme, Epic, Capability, Feature, Story) to an object as a Work Item Link (predecessor or successor)
2. Check the Audit Log: you will see an entry indicating that the work item "A" was added.
3. Cancel the work item "A".
4. Return to the object "B": you will not see any entry indicating the change in the work item link, but the work item link will be removed.
5. Use the "Save" or "Save and Close" options or click on the work item link, then the "View the Predecessors and Successors" button.
6. You will see a new entry in the Audit Log, stating that the work item link was removed - marked at the time you made the change, which may not correspond with the actual time the work item "A" was removed.

Expected Results

The removal of the Work Item Link should be added to the Audit Log for the remaining object, "B", and should mention that it was removed due to the original object, "A", being canceled. This behavior may be related to JIRAALIGN-5851.

Actual Results

No immediate Audit Log entry is made post-cancelation.
After any user later saves an object "B" – through "Save", "Save & Close", or "View the Predecessors and Successors" actions – an Audit Log entry is incorrectly added. This entry suggests that this latter user removed the link, whereas, in reality, it was removed earlier due to the cancellation of the other object, "A".

Workaround

Currently, there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
