Changing issue status automatically for linked epic

aynura.nasibova

Hello! We use Jira Software server.

It is possible if the user changes the status one of the task from "To Do" to "In progress", then the status of the epic will automatically change from "To Do" to "In progress". And when all tasks done then the status of the epic will automatically change to "Done"

Thanks for regarding!

You might be needing a plugin to extend your post-functions. JSU has a "Linked Issue Transition" function with which you would be able to automate this:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/5048/jsu-automation-suite-for-jira-workflows?hosting=server&tab=overview

https://confluence-apps.beecom.ch/display/JSU/Linked+Transition

There are of course other plugins, JSU is however widely used.

You might be able to get this done with the free version of Automation for Jira (Lite): https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211836/automation-for-jira-server-lite?hosting=server&tab=overview

Not 100% sure though if you might not be needing the paid version, but I think it should be possible with the free version too.

Hi @Asha Gomez unfortunately I can't to find a postfunction of the workflow of type: "Set Field Value to constant or Groovy expression". Maybe do you know any way?
