Github Actions workflow will not trigger - github-actions

Question

I am trying to trigger a workflow every time a commit is pushed to the repo. This little workflow adds a label to a jira ticket every time a commit is pushed. Whenever i would commit this workflow file and add a commit message, it would trigger the workflow but when i try it with other files in the repo it does absolutely nothing and I don't have a clue why. When i would also make changes to other workflow files it would also trigger this specific workflow.
I'm new to github actions so any help would be appreciated. Below is my full workflow. I have also tried with just "on: push:".
name: Update Jira with branch name
on:
push:
branches:
- '*'
jobs:
update_jira:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Get branch name
run: echo "Branch name:${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/}"
- name: Login
uses: atlassian/gajira-login#master
env:
JIRA_BASE_URL: x
JIRA_USER_EMAIL: y
JIRA_API_TOKEN: z
- name: Find in commit messages
uses: atlassian/gajira-find-issue-key#v3
with:
from: commits
- name: Update Jira with branch name
run: |
JIRA_URL=x
JIRA_USERNAME=y
JIRA_TOKEN=z
curl -X PUT -H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n "$JIRA_USERNAME:$JIRA_TOKEN" | base64)" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"fields\":{\"labels\":[\"${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/}\"]}}" "$JIRA_URL/rest/api/latest/issue/$(cat /home/runner/jira/config.yml | grep "issue:" | awk '{print $2}')"
# Get the response code
response_code=$(curl -X PUT -H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n "$JIRA_USERNAME:$JIRA_TOKEN" | base64)" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"fields\":{\"labels\":[\"${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/}\"]}}" "$JIRA_URL/rest/api/latest/issue/$(cat /home/runner/jira/config.yml | grep "issue:" | awk '{print $2}')" -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}")
# Print the response code
echo "Response code: $response_code"

The workflow only runs with this 'on: push' setup if the workflow is stored on that branch. Check if the workflow exists on those other branches as well, and add it if missing.
