Keep parent in sync with the status of the earliest/lowest subtask

[Marc M_]

Hi,

I'm looking into automating the following. I have a parent story with let's say 3 subtasks and the following statusses in the workflow (to do / busy / QA testing / done)

If subtask 1 is in busy, and subtask 2 still in to do, I want to keep the parent story in "to do" as well.

Let's say then subtask 1 goes to "QA testing" and subtask 2 goes to "busy" status, I want that the parent story also gets moved to "busy". Since it's following the status of the "lowest" subtask.

In essence, I want the parent to always be in sync with the earliest/lowest status of one of the subtasks attached to it.

I guess this should be feasible to automate?

Many thanks for the help

Hi Marc,

So sorry that no one has responded here yet! I have been completely covered up with work and not able to respond for a few months. 

Did you get a solution?
