Update Story A when dependent stories are completed.

fahad.niazi

Hi Folks,

I have a scenario which i want to handle through Workflow but m getting no where. I have Story A which is dependent on Story 1, Story 2 and Story 3. The dependency is done via 'issue link' . I want, if Story 1 Story 2 and Story 3 are done than Story A should automatically gets close.

So my workflow needs:

1) Upon completion of Story 1, it will check if it is dependent on any story.

2) if Yes, check if other dependent stories (Story 2 and Story 3 )are done.

3) If yes than update the status of Story A to Done.

Thanks.

Hi @fahad.niazi

Can I confirm:

What link type relates Stories 1-3 to Story A?
Are Stories 1-3 linked together also? If yes, with what link type?

^ It'll be best to do this via Automation as opposed to in a Workflow. This is because whilst workflows can be great for validating data, it's mainly to allow for an action to take place - whilst Automation uses a trigger to perform a related action, and can take into account other conditions like in your instance.

Hi Stephen,

The Stories 1-3 are linked with Linktype "Resloves" to Story A and Story A has link type with Story 1-3 with "is resolved by".

Thanks,

Hi @fahad.niazi

This should be possible in Automation - to access Automation at a project-level, you'll need to be a Project Admin and then:

Go to Project Settings > Automation
Press the blue "Create Rule" button in the top-right corner to start

------------

For the rule, use this:

Trigger: Issue Transitioned - To Status: Done
Add a Branch: For "Type of related issues", choose Linked Issues - then, select the link type "resolves"
Add a Condition: Related Issues Condition - For "Related Issues", choose Linked Issues - then for "Link Types" choose "is resolved by".
Next (still on same Condition), for "Condition", choose "None match specified JQL". Finally, in "Matching JQL" enter status != Done
Add an Action: Transition Issue - set "Destination Status" to Done

^ The way this rule works is it triggers when Story 1-3 are closed. It then locates the related issue - Story A - and checks no other related issue to Story A is open. If some are, it does nothing - but if none are, it closes Story A.

------------

You can of course modify this rule to suit your needs, for example:

Trigger: Change the "To Status" to whatever your closure statuses are
Condition: Change the JQL to statusCategory != Done if you have multiple "Done" statuses
Action: Choose to edit a field during the closure - for example, if Resolution is required via your workflow.

------------

Let us know if this works for you!
