How can I relate 2 linked issues in one task with automation?

I have 3 automation objectives that need to archive

1. Link issues in a task need to "relate" with each other

2. All of the link issues move to "Done" -> The task will move to "Done"

3. Link issue B copy description to Link issue C (B and C are related to each other)

Hello @Anh Tài 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Have you tried to construct any of these rules? I would encourage you to try that 

There is documentation for Automation Rules.

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-cloud-automation/

There is free, on-demand training available for Automation Rules on the Atlassian University website.

https://university.atlassian.com

https://university.atlassian.com/student/catalog/list?search=Jira+automation

What you have asked about will require three different rules. The first step in each rule is figuring out what event/action in Jira will cause the rule to trigger.

@Anh Tài ,

For the second one:

For, 1 and 3 I need some more clarity.

This does not appear to match the requirement.

As I understand the requirement, issue A has issues B, C, and D linked to it. When issues B, C, and D transition to Done then A needs to be transitioned to Done.

The rule you have designed will transition B, C, And D to Done, not A.

Yes @Anh Tài , That's just an example to reverse it it is important to identify the kind of links those are (standard/subtask) and use appropriate JQL for the required triggers. +1 for @Trudy P Claspill

Hi guys, thank you for being here

 

As Trudy's comment, that's correct! I want Issue A to transition to "Done" when the linked issues B, C, D,... in Issue A have transitioned to "Done" all.

 

For 1. Link issues in a task need to "relate" with each other

- I want linked issue B,C,D,E,... in Issue A not only "caused by" Issue A, I want Issue B,C,D,E,... also "related to" Issue B,C,D,E,... like a brother and sister with the same mother which is Issue A.

 

For 3. Link issue B copy description to Link issue C

- Issue A sometimes has only 2 linked issue B and issue C, and after Issue B transitioned to Done, automation will copy the description from Issue B to Issue C and set the status to the Issue C "in progress"

 

Hope this will clarify what you need.

 

Thank you all.
