[Automation] Child Transition

[Amy Chang]

Hi Community, 

Can the child issue be automatically transited to the new status when all other child issues are completed?

For example:

• Parent Issue:
  • Epic: Beta-123, In Progress
• Child Issues
  • Task: Beta-124, Done
  • Task: Beta-125, Done
  • Task: Beta-126, --> Done
  • Request: Beta-127, WIP --> Review

In our issue set, we have 1 Request with the tickets from other issue types. When the last issue moves to Done status, the Request needs to move from WIP to Done.

I'm not sure if it is possible to make it. I attached the rule below:

Thank you

Hi @Amy Chang 

Yes, that is possible with a rule.

Rather than branching to the Parent to access the child issues, you could instead use the Related Issues condition to check the sibling "Task" issues.  If that condition passes, then branch to the "Request".

• trigger: issue transitioned to Done or Closed
• condition: check the issue type is one of Website, Video, ...
• condition: check there is a parent
• related issues condition with JQL
  • parent = {{triggerIssue.parent.key}} AND issueType != Request AND status NOT IN (Done, Closed)
  • condition would be no issues found
• branch on JQL to reach the "Request" with
  • parent = {{triggerIssue.parent.key}} AND issueType = Request AND status NOT IN (Done, Closed)
    • action: transition the issue

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy ,

Thank you for your reply.

In the Related Issue Condition, I'm not sure which selection presents the "no issue found."

I'm not familiar with this part. Can you please guide me on this part? Thank you!

Please try the Condition selection "None match specified JQL".
