How to modify the workflow to move Story to a certain status, based on Epic status ?

[Aisha M]

have the below set of Epic workflow statuses, (All global status)

Backlog -> Analysis > Planning > Planned > Working > Delivered

So, when an Epic issue moves up from ' Working' to any other status above (like, Planned, Planning, Analysis, Backlog), all stories associated with the Epic, which are in 'Working' status should be moved to 'To-do', except for the Done stories which are already completed.

How to enable this setup the workflows & which workflow - Epic or Story ?

Thank you

You will need an automation or script to provide a post-function in the Epic workflow that will search through all the linked issues, work out what their current status is, and derive the transition(s) that each one needs to be pushed through to get them into the required status, then move each one of them through those transitions.
