Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You've not said if you are on Cloud or Server/DC here.  If you're on Server, you need an app to help you.  If you're on Cloud, look at the "automation" function in the project settings.

We are on a  server, so we will need an app :)

Assuming that you are on cloud you could use the built-in automation feature to achieve this. You will need to have administrative rights to create the automation rule. The rule will look something like below. 

Trigger - issue transitioned

condition - Issuetype = sub-task

Branch - for parent

Action - status - copy from trigger

now you also may want to close the parent when the last sub-task closes. Check you Automation library as there is a rule there you can use.
