Atypical Relationship - can get it to work

It's pretty simple.

Object 1 is owner of Object 2.

Object 2 can create Object 3 and is an owner or it.

Object 1 is also an owner of Object 3.

To establish the relationship between Object 1 and Object 3 I have a rule on Object three:

Object3.Object1.ID = LoggedInObject2.Object1.ID.

I can verify that LoggedInObject2.Object1.ID is a known value but it doesn't get saved to the Object3 record.

Your rule is trying to set the ID of Object1

This cannot be set via any process or rule that I have come across as yet,

Have you considered using:

Object3.Object1=LoggedInObject2.Object1

This will then create the link you want.

Thank you - resolved!
