How to concatenate 2 Automation on Jira Cloud

[Riccardo Micozzi]

Hi guys,

I have 2 Automation that start when an issue trasitioned to a specific status, they work well individually but I need that they will work like a concatenation(when first automation finish to run, the second have to start).

This is an Example to explain the Situation:

I have 3 type of Issue:  Drop, CR and Release,   The drop are linked to CR and CR are Linked to Release

And I have 2 automation:

1) when a Drop move to the Done state, the Linked CR have to move to Done state(it works perfectly)

2) When a CR move to the Done state, the linked CR have to move to Done state(it works perfectly)

The problem is:

I have the Drop1 linked to CR1 and CR1 Linked to Release1

I Manually move Drop1 to Done state, the first automation Run and move CR1 to Done state. At this point the second Automation doesn't run because it doesn't detect the Change of the status of CR1 (It Detects if I move manually the state of an Issue but not if an Automation moves the state)

I'm using the Trigger: "When Issue Trasitioned".

There is a way to concatenate this 2 automation?

I put here 2 screenshot of the Automation

what you want to do is to have the first rule trigger on create and the second rule trigger off what the first rule does. In the second rule be sure to check the box to allow the rule to be triggered by other rules.
