if child issue of an epic status is done then auto create new child under the same epic

[Aysha.Mohammad]

what will be automation rule applies for 

if child issue's status is done then automatically create new child under the same epic. 

[MW · Accepted solution]

I'd say, try something like this - of course you have to adjust statut in "transition condition" and issue type

[Aysha.Mohammad]

Thanks for reply, I dont have option for epic link 

[Marcin Wiktor]

You do have this option but you don't realize you do :)

Click on "Choose fields to set" and then pick "Epic link" from this dropdown list

[Aysha.Mohammad]

This rule is worked for epic, for instance if epic status change to finished than new child is created for same epic 

which rule applies  if one child status is finished and new child is created within same parent?

[MW]

Not sure if I understand your intentions.

You want this rule to:

1. Don't trigger when an epic is closed
2. Trigger only for tasks inside an epic

?

[Aysha.Mohammad]

I am sorry Marcin if you not understand my point, well yes  I want trigger only for task inside an epic 

May be you can get my point from screenshot 

[MW]

So you can achieve this by adding a JQL condition like this:

If you need to run this automation only in one specific epic then you can change this query to:

issuetype = Task and "Epic link" = TP-48

Unfortunately it does not work.

@Aysha.Mohammad can you open "Audit log" tab and see the logs?
If you provide me a screenshot of it, maybe I'd be able to help if I see what's not working exactly

[Aysha.Mohammad]

@Marcin Wiktor here is screenshot for audit log 

[Aysha.Mohammad]

this rule is working for epic, If epic status changed to finished new child is created automatically,  screenshot attached for this rule 

I need when one child's status reached to finished another child is created under the same epic.

@Aysha.Mohammad 

So you have uploaded 2 screens with different configuration - please notice that the first one has "If: Issue matches" condition (yellow background) and the second doesn't.

The first one is correct but the log says that something is wrong with permissions.

First - in the Rule details check who is the actor selected for this rule:

If this is set to "Automation for Jira" then make that "atlassian-addons-project-access" role is added to:

- Browse project

- Create issues

- Edit issues

- Transition issues

[Aysha.Mohammad]

Thank you very much @marcin 

its working now 

[Marcin Wiktor]

@Aysha.Mohammad no problem, happy to help :)

[Muhamad Zulhadi]

Hello @Aysha.Mohammad and @Marcin Wiktor 
I have same case, and seems this one is promising for me.
But I wonder, does update the permission only possible in Jira Premium?
Please let me know.

Thanks,

Regards, Zulhadi.

Hi @Aysha.Mohammad ,

I think you then create a rule with Issue transitioned as trigger, a Branch rule / related issues with the EPIC and below that a create issue action.
See also the screenshot.

And then of course expand with conditions.

Does this point you in the right direction?

Regards, Marco

[Aysha.Mohammad]

Thank you Marco, I tried this before but it does work for me, 

my concern is create new child when the status of previous child = done for same epic.

[Marco Brundel]

Hi @Aysha.Mohammad ,

And a rule like this one?
