automation rule for marking a parent as done if all children are done or cancelled

[Rory Scherer]

how can I create an automated rule so that an epic's status is automatically changed to either 'Done' or 'Cancelled' if all of its children (stories/tasks/bugs) statuses are marked as Done or Cancelled?

Hello @Rory Scherer 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Within the Automation Rule creation pages there is a tab marked Templates. In that tab you will find many example rules, including one for closing a parent when all children are closed. Take a look at that template and let us know if you have questions.
