Currently in Automation for Jira, an issue is either created or transitioning between states in a workflow. These do not overlap. This can cause issues where an Automation is looking for a transition to a status from any status but the initial status is null ( new issue ) so it never fires.
For ease of using Automation for Jira, it would be beneficial to add an option to detect issue creation as an issue transition for this trigger or allow the Automation for Jira to detect the transition from create to a status.
