Automatically set epic status to done

[Craig Finlayson]

I want to be able to mark epic status field to done as soon as we transition to done in our workflow. I can't seem to see any way to achieve this via global automation rules or post function workflow options. Any ideas?

Hello @Craig Finlayson

kindly have a look into these articles,
1. How can I set resolution to resolved?
2. Configure advanced issue workflows

Hi @Craig Finlayson 

Yes, and...to the answer from Dhanush: you can do this various ways, including with an automation rule, however...

The Epic Status field is finally being deprecated and so epics will just use status.  Please look here for more information: https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/blog/2022/09/atlassian-cloud-changes-sep-12-to-sep-19-2022

Kind regards,

Anyone know when this will be release? I am still seeing Epics with a resolved status as epic status to do?

Hi @Dillon Weyer 

Last week I got a notification that said the rollout was 22 March 2023, and referred people back to this article for details:
