Epic automation doesnt find Sub-Tasks

[Phil Steinbach]

When i change the status of an Epic from "Backlog" to "Genehmigt" I want the Tasks and Sub-Tasks to also change from Backlog to Genehmigt.

Sadly Jira automation doesnt detect Sub-Tasks in my case, only the Tasks.

You can only branch down one level when using default options. Epics have no subtasks, not directly. Just as it happens, there has been a very recent discussion on this and how to work around it with JQL so that a rule triggered from an epic level can reach further down than the task level:
