Automation: Transition Task based of SubTask Resolution

[sbeaulieu]

Hello I was wondering if there is a way to transition task into the a specific status when all the Subtask (blocking task) or Done/Resolved. 

Let say I have the Jira type 'Asset'  and it is blocked by 'Tasks' that are linked to the 'Asset'. 

Once all linked 'Task' are Done the Asset would transition to 'Ready for Check' Status. 

Is that something that is doable?

Hello @sbeaulieu 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You have mentioned two different things in your post.

• Transitioning an issue based on the status of "linked" issues
• Transitioning an issue based on the status of Subtasks.

Subtasks means something specific in Jira. It is a special type of issue that can be a child of another issue. That is separate from using the generic issue linking functionality to link two issues together. The two types of relationships are shown in different groups in an issue.

The automation for what you want to do is different depending on whether you really mean subtasks or your really mean linked issues.

Which is it?

Thanks for the information. That would be Linked Issues that would block the Main one, The 'Asset' one.

Are the Asset issues and all the issues it may be blocked by in the same project?

Do all the issues that could be blocking the Asset issue leverage the same (or identical) workflows?

Is the Status to be considered named "Done" or "Done/Resolved", or are there two statuses with one named Done and the other Resolved, or are you referring to the Status and the value of the Resolution field?

What would you expect to happen, if anything, if the blocking issue was transitioned out of its "done" status after the blocked issue had been transitioned to its "ready to check" status?
