Jira Cloud Automation: search for parent issues and transition parent and sub-task

[Bernd Anderer]

I want to use Jira Automation to do this:

- run a JQL every day, that finds certain Parent Issues

- for each parent Issue that is found, I want to

-- transition the parent to DONE

-- transition the sub-task, if the sub-task is of type "payment"

I know how to setup the scheduled automation, I am aware of the Branch function.

I just don't know how to update the sub-tasks that must be of a certain type.

Any idea how that can be done?

Thanks in advance,

Bernd

You can use the Branches.

For Subtasks

If Issue type = payment

Then update the issue

thanks for the answer.

And what about the parent - how do I update the parent issue?

[Manoj Gangwar]

Schedule> JQL

If issue type = parent issue type

Then transition to done

I guess I have to more specific :-)

I have a parent Issue Type "Bill", with child Issue Type "Sub-Task"

I need to filter for the sub-tasks, eg. "issue type = Sub-Task AND paymentDate = Now()"

All the Sub-Task that match, need to be transitioned and also the according parent.

Any idea? :-)

In that case you have to create two automation rules. 

One for Child another for Parent

For Child>

"When:Scheduled

Searches with:

Type = Bill 

Every 1 days"

"If issue matches JQL

Type = sub-task and paymentdate= now()"

Then transition the issue to "done"

For Parent>

When Issue transition to "done"

If Type = Sub-task

Branch rule For Parent

Then transition issue to "Done"

Thank you. I didn‘t see that I can add FOR CHILD and FOR PARENT in one automation.

Now that I know that, it is actually simple :-) Like always.

Thanks for your help!
