When sub-task is merged transition its status to DONE

[Hala Haneya]

I have this rule that keeps failing. It is not detecting the work-time type to be subtask as expected

RULE:

ERROR:

Hi @Hala Haneya -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Your rule is trying to use a JQL branch, but the JQL expression is invalid.

To use the Pull Request Merged trigger for your scenario, please see this template rule in the rule list:

When a pull request is merged → then move work item to done

And if you only want that to apply to Subtasks, you could add another condition after the trigger.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy 

Would this work?

[Bill Sheboy]

Yes, that should work for the scenario you described.

Have you tested with it yet?

[Hala Haneya]

Yes, it works now. Thank you for your support!

Hi @Hala Haneya

Welcome to the Community!

Try not to put a branching rule; apply a condition that will check if the triggered issue is an exact sub-task or it is belongs to sub-task type.

Use the second logic to put the automation exactly for the issue type "sub-task" and use the first one, if you want to put it for all types of issues that are sub-tasks.
