Transition Parent (Epic) to done when tasks are done

unknown

Hello,

I am trying to create a rule to transition a parent (epic) if all tasks are done by doing this:

When I moved the last task to done to trigger this rule, it does not take action on the parent. I don't think is getting to then. I'm doing something wrong or I'm missing something, help please. Thank you!

Hello @[deleted]

Thanks for writing to us. You want to work on all types of subtasks(stories, bugs, tasks, etc) present in an Epic, for that you will have to use Epic(parent) branch condition which loops over all the issues(linked or child tasks) present in this epic. In your case, parent -> sub-task relation did not hold true hence it did not work as you expected.

I would recommend to plan rule like this:

Hi Sherry,

Thank you for your answer. I made the changes and still there was no action happening. So I went and read in more detail your suggestion and check why, the parent I was using was not the right one, EPIC(Parent) once I changed that, worked. Now, the workflow has a rule to include time spent before moving to done so now I will need to add all the time spent of the tasks in the epic and update the timeSpent field

Thank you for your help,

Hi Sherry,

I'm entering this code in the "Then" part of the script but is giving me an error indicating: Invalid type duration entered. Any suggestions on how I can get the sum of all the time spent of each task in the epic?

{
"update": {
"worklog" : [
{
"add": {
"timeSpent" : "{{now.diff(issue.created).businessDays}}d"
}
}
]
}
} Jira Aut_04.png

Thanks,

Jorge

Hi @[deleted]

For finding sum of worklogs in an epic, there is an article published: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-articles/How-to-sum-up-logged-hours-using-automation-in-Jira-Cloud/ba-p/1409115
You can refer above article and in the comment you can see how we can do it in an epic(which sums up original estimate of all stories inside epic set it to parent epic.
I would suggest to go for separate rule with trigger as "When Value Changes".

But in your case if you want to calculate "time spent" on the basis of dates created and date marked as done, the way you are doing is fine. I think issue is with the smart value.
Try using: "{{issue.created.diff(now).businessDays}}d" (Your case is generating negative value and worklog can not take negative time spent)

I would recommend to use "Log Work" action(at last in your rule) over setting it in json. Looks more clearer, readable and easy to edit. Something like this:
