Automation - Making sure a Linked Issue is closed once all User Stories beneath are closed

Question

Hi,

Im currently working on automating the following:

I have 1 Issue type that I created called RICEFW.

Beneath this RICEFW I'm attaching several User Stories to complete the RICEFW.

What I want to Automate is that once all User Stories are put on "Done", the Issue Type (RICEFW) is automatically put on done as well.

Can someone help me out with setting up this rule?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Are there any validators or conditions set for the transition in question?
I am wondering if some of there could prevent the transition?

Could you please check and report back?

Hi @Alexis Robert

I had a look, at first I had all Issue Types on the same workflow (left side of the picture). In this case it does not work. After this I tried to create a separate workflow for the Feature/RICEFW Issue Types (right side of the picture). In both cases unfortunately I did not cause the Feature/RICEFW to move to Done after putting all related User Stories on Done.

Hope you can help me out.

Thanks.

Hi @Robin Findhammer ,

I think the automation you've created should work. The error message reported is that the Feature issue (UN-19 I guess) can't be transitionned to DONE.

Is it because you have a workflow that does not have this status for the Feature issues ? Could you please share a screenshot of the workflow ?
