What's the best way to monitor for epics containing all resolved issues?

[Matt Caruso]

I want to be able to set up some way of monitoring if an epic contains only resolved issues. 

I've considered:

Creating a filter and subscribing: But I'm not able to create a JQL for epics based on the fields of their children

Triggering an automation every time an issue is resolved: Then, check it see if it has a parent. If it has a parent, use Lookup Issues to get all the children of that parent. But I'm stuck there — I'm not sure how to write an automation condition to only proceed if the children all match a condition.

What does the community think? How do you keep an eye out for epics which should likely be closed?

Hello @Matt Caruso 

Is your end goal only to get an alert when all the child issues are closed, or to close the parent Epic automatically?

A rule like this could work for you.

Trigger: When issue transitioned to Resolved
Condition: Issue Type is one of the types that can be a child of an Epic
Branch: For Related Issues / Parent
  Condition: Related Issues 
    Related Issues: Children
    Condition: all match jql
    JQL: statusCategory = Done
  Action: whatever action you want to take; send email or transition Epic.

That worked beautifully. Thank you!
