Transition Parent When subtask is closed

[Hemanshu Sood]

Hi All,

This question has been asked multiple time on the forum and i referred below links to accomplish this, but still not successful

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Transition-parent-to-close-when-sub-tasks-are-closed-is-not/qaq-p/88697

https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/75677/automatic-transition-on-parent-issue-when-all-sub-tasks-are-closed

I have a Parent issue workflow:

P1->P2->P3

Parent issue is currently in P2 stage

Subtask Issue workflow:

S1->S2->S3

Subtask status is S2

When Ssubtask moves from S2 to S3 , parent should move from P2 to P3.

I am using script runner plugin and added the post function in the subtask workflow, but still not able to change the status of the parent issue.

Please help

This script will transition your issue.

Just change "211" from my code to the action you want in your post function

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.util.JiraUtils;
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtil;
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.util.ErrorCollection;

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
WorkflowTransitionUtil workflowTransitionUtil = JiraUtils.loadComponent(WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.class);
workflowTransitionUtil.setIssue((MutableIssue)issue);
workflowTransitionUtil.setUserkey(currentUser.getKey());
workflowTransitionUtil.setAction(211);
if (workflowTransitionUtil.validate().getErrorMessages().size() == 0) {
 workflowTransitionUtil.progress();
}

Hi @Nir Haimov thanks for the reply.

But I want to change parent status based on change in subtask status. This script might need to be pasted in subtask post function and does not work if I use P3 instead of 211

Hi @Hemanshu Sood,

Use this as post-function in your sub-task.

change this line:

workflowTransitionUtil.setIssue((MutableIssue)issue);

to:

workflowTransitionUtil.setIssue((MutableIssue)issue.getParentObject());

 Yes, 211 is your P3 (but actionId and not statusId), and it will work :)

Wow, this works @Nir Haimov. Thanks
