Automation to change parent due date to next sub-task due date, once a sub-task is complete?

Lisa Stone_oghems

I almost have this figured out, but can't quite get it.  Once a sub-task is marked complete, I would like the parent due date to change based on the NEXT sub-task due date.

I have figured out how to automate the change to the 1st sub-task due date, or the last due date, but can't figure out how to do the NEXT due date.  

So far I have:

Issue Transitioned to: Done

If: Parent exists

For Parent:

If: some sub-tasks are in status "To-Do" or "In Progress"

Then edit due date:  {{issue.subtasks.Due date.max}}

 

Using the above, I can update that smart value to "Max" or  "Min" to get the 1st due date of my subtasks or last, but is there any way to get it to figure out of all the sub-tasks which one has the next due date?

Thank you!

Hi @Lisa Stone -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I suspect this is possible, although it will be a more complicated solution.  But first to confirm: what do you mean by the "NEXT sub-task due date"?
