Transition parent based on sub-task

[Ryan Paul]

Hi!

Can you help out with an automation rule where I have a parent and multiple sub-tasks? 

If one out of 3 sub-task is moved to In-progress, the parent should automatically change to In-progress.

And if the sub-task that was in progress is moved to To-Do, the parent should automatically change to To-Do.

Thanks!

Hello @Ryan Paul

You can use the following automation rule:

When issue transitioned FROM "To Do" TO "In Progress"
For Parent
Then: Transition the issue to "In Progress"

Example below:

Note, to transition back from "In Progress" to "To Do" you will need to create another rule with same logic.

Hope this helps.

I would add that you probably want some type of Condition after the initial trigger to further define which issues you want to limit.
