Change child's status based on parent's status by automation

[Kaviraj]

Hi 

Greetings,

How to create automation rule for changing child's status based on parent's status.

• What I need with Example:

If parent issue status (PROJ-69) reaches "Start Development", automation rule should check related subtasks (subtask issue type - DEV, "Test design") status is "Done" then change to "Start Execution".

• What I tried & error:

I have added condition for this transition to execute only by automation not by any user.(refer below image)

Kindly advise to modify the rule to get correct result.

Thank you !

Hello! I am trying to figure out the same issue how did you fix this?

Your rule includes the Related Issues condition to look for sub-tasks of the triggered issue.

Are "Dev" and "Test Design" issue types did you create them as Sub-task issue types?

For the issues listed in the audit log as not matching the Related Issues Condition, what are the issue types for those issues?

Hi @Trudy Claspill  

Thanks your response.

Yes, Issue types of "Dev" and "Test Design" are Sub-task.

Yes, some subtasks are not matched. Noted. But as per my query it should take only "Dev" and "Test Design" right?

Its considering all subtask under PROJ-69 (refer below image).

Subtask issue type is "Dev" - PROJ-119, PROJ-121 

Subtask issue type is "Test Design" - PROJ-120, PROJ-122

But what I really need is- Query should take Subtask issue type "Dev" and "Test design" then change status to "Start Execution".

Appreciate your response.

Thank you!
