In order to successfully create the rule, you will need to perform the below steps:

• Create a Scheduled Trigger based on the interval at which the Epic needs to be created.
• Add the "Create Issue" Action to create the Epic issue.
• Add the branch referring to the "Most Recently Created Issue"
• Add the "Create Issue" action to create the child issue. The parent for the child issue will be set as Trigger issue:

• Add another "Create Issue" action to create the next child issue. You will also need to add the "Linked Issues" field for this child issue and then select the type of link along with the "Most Recently Created Issue" option. This will ensure that the child issue is linked to the previously created child issue.
