Trigger automation based on status change for a specific sub-task under specific parent

[Anna Miller]

I need an automation to trigger when a specific sub-task changes status on a specific parent summary. See snipit that is producing an error. The parent contains the summary "WA Hospital Association". The issue that is changing status is the sub-task and it's summary description is "ED".

Hello @Anna Miller 

There are many ways to achieve this, One way is, You could use "Advanced Compare" and smart values to check sub-task's parent summary.

So, After your trigger (first step), instead of doing "issue field condition", choose advanced compare and check if

• {{issue.parent.summary}} 
• equals
• WA Hospital Association

see screenshot below:

you can leave rest of the rule as is and try to transition. Hope it helps.
