How to create Status Automation in Jira?

[Thomas Brusati]

I want to create an automation like this:
trigger - when ALL the subtasks of a task are marked as "Done"

action - mark the relative task as "Done"


Also another one like:

trigger - when ANY of the subtask of a task is marked as "In progress"

action - mark the relative task as "In progress"

I also want to replicate this automation for the upper level (when all the task of a workstream are "done2 mark the workstrream as "Done") etc...


How can I do it?

Hi @Thomas Brusati

you can create automation rules that will be triggered by the Status change of your sub-tasks. This is a good example for your first case: Auto close parent issue when all sub-tasks are done (sync) 

Other rules can be created similarly.

Thanks! I think I found it

Hi @Thomas Brusati 

Atlassian supplies template rules you can use as starting points for these scenarios:

• from the rule list
• select templates
• find this one, and select it for use: When all sub-tasks are done → move parent to done

You may also copy that rule and edit it for the "In Progress" scenario.

Kind regards,
Bill
