Automation for Jira: Updating parent Epic field in next-gen project issues does not trigger "Issue Updated"

Issue Summary

Automation rules which are configured with the trigger "Issue updated" does not run when the parent Epic field is updated is next-gen projects.

From the issue history, we can confirm the change but the automation rule is not triggered.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an automation rule with the trigger "Issue Updated"
3. Create a next-gen project and create an issue of type Epic
2.  Create a standard issue (Task, Story, etc) and update the Parent Epic.

Expected Results

As the Parent Epic was updated, automation rule with the trigger "Issue Updated" should execute.

Actual Results

Automation rule is not triggered

Workaround

Current workaround is to create child tasks using "Add a child task" only which can then trigger "Issue Created".
