JQL support needed on Filtering Dependency Task using Parent Task Status Field

[Rahul Jith]

 Hi All & @Bill Sheboy ,

I wanted to setup a board with the below requirement. I have tried multiple JQL queries and even tried applying few automation rules. However, it ended up in partial success outcome which indeed not fulfils my original requirement

My company is not authorized nor allowed to use any add ons nor additional apps from market place. So I am looking for a best solution for  my query. 

Below is the requirement details:

Project: XYZ

Issue Type needed in Board: Dependency task

Conditions: When Parent task 'status' transitioned to "ABC" status, a custom field in Dependency Task captures the Parent task status.

Logic I applied: Via automation, When status transition to ABC, a custom field created in Parent task get Edit field with ABC. 

And 2nd Automation I have set was when Issue field updated, Branch condition "For Dependent Task" Then update issue field "Custom Field" (Copy from Parent issue).

1st Automation is working and 2nd is not giving any results.

Kindly review and advise if there is any simply JQL query where I can filter using parent status or best approach to tackle this.

Regards,

Rahul Jith

Hi @Rahul Jith 

When you want the actions of one rule to trigger another rule, the second rule should enable the option "Allow Rule Trigger".  This option is in the rule details at the top.

Please take care using this feature.  Poorly written rules could lead to run-away execution problems, which is why this rule option is disabled by default.  Carefully test your rules and issue updates when this feature is used.

Kind regards,
Bill
