Automatically change workflow status from Backlog to In progress

[Geethanjali S J]

Hi, 

Our Instance is jira cloud. 

We have issuetypes MBl, Epic and Sub service. 

We need to move workflow status of MBI automatically from Backlog to In progress. 

When anyone of the issue under MBI(i.e,epic and sub service) is set as In progress. 

Epic and Sub service is created under MBI by using parent link. 

Can anyone let me how we can achieve this. 

Thanks in advance. 

Geethanjali.

Hi @Geethanjali S J

You can use jira automation to accomplish this.

Here is a tutorial on how to do it. You will need to branch to the appropriate parent or issue links.
