Auto-transition an epic | Dependant on story under theepic

[BrentBot]

Hello everyone,

Kind of a gnarly request here. I hope I can explain it correctly.

Here are the deets:

I want to auto-transition an epic to CLOSEOUT state when it has been in 100% DESIGN state, but only when the task CLIENT REVIEW under the epic matches the following:

>> custom field DELIVERABLE is 100%

>> the current date is 3 days past the due date.

Example here:

CLIENT REVIEW task under EPIC has deliverable field of 100%

>> Due date is 8.1.21
>> Current date is 8.4.21 (I want to make sure we only account business days)
>> Automation transitions epic from 100% DESIGN to CLOSEOUT

I want to run this as a job, but how do i account for business days via field issue conditions on a if/then?

any and all input is much appreciate

What i ended up using was the automation contained in the screenshot - works flawlessly and i am able to run a warning message action and actual auto-transition action against the due date field. if anyone comes across this post please let me know and i can go into more details of the variations

Hi @BrentBot 

Have you considered splitting your test into two condition components: the part without the date and the one with?

You could then use date/time functions and an advanced compare condition for the date part.  Please look here for some functions to help: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-date-and-time-functions/

Kind regards,

Do you have an example of that? so an initial IF statement and THEN for the time in the same rule? I have not used advanced compare except i think 1 time

Hi!

You could use one issue field, condition for each test needed, helping to confirm your logic and see problems in the audit log progress.  For example:

• trigger: scheduled
• condition: Deliverable equals 100%
• condition: issue type equals Client Review
• advanced compare condition:
  • first value: {{issue.duedate.diff(now).businessDays}}
  • condition: greater than or equal to
  • second value: 3
• branch: for epic parent
  • action: transition the issue
  • action: add the comment
