Help creating a simple automation rule to transition parent issues

James George Lance_ Jr
June 5, 2026

My configuration has Epics in one space, children of Epics we call Features in another space, and then children of the Features in each individual team space that performs the work on stories and tasks.  I am struggling to create an automation rule where when a child story from one space first moves to "Implementing" I want the parent issue (Feature) in another space to transition to "Implementing" from it's prior workflow status.

 

I can get it to work if my story and Feature are in the same space, but my automation will not work across spaces for some reason.  I am creating the rule in the global admin area and calling out the spaces that are in play.
