When a Subtask is Done → Subtask greater than 2 days old will be moved to Closed state

Shirley Setpally

I created below rule [Custom] When a Subtask is Done → Subtask greater than 2 days old will be moved to Closed state. 48 hours duration is not being considered. As soon as the subtasks are done, they are moved to closed state w/o considering duration.

Anything missing in my rule?

Hi @Shirley Setpally and welcome to the community!

Looking at your automation, it appears that when subtasks are moved to done and updated is after 48 hours it tries to move to done again.

I'm assuming you want this to impact a different subtask. In this case, you'd need a branch component. Assuming you're looking for other subtasks sharing the same parent, you could do a branch based upon JQL like this:

parent = {{issue.parent}} and key != {{issue}}

Then move those last two components under the new branch.

Hi @Shirley Setpally -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Does this match your use case:

when a subtask moves from Code Review to Done
wait 48 hours, and then move it to Closed if it is not already there

If so, please consider changing your rule to periodically check for issues meeting this criteria using a Scheduled trigger and JQL, and then perform the last transition. For example the JQL for the trigger could be:

project = myProjectName AND issueType = Subtask AND status CHANGED FROM "Code Review" TO "Done AND updated < -48h

Also please consider if issues could be updated for other reasons that would impact the 48h check you wanted. If so, you could instead use statusCategoryChangedDate for your check:

project = myProjectName AND issueType = Subtask AND status CHANGED FROM "Code Review" TO "Done AND statusCategoryChangedDate < -48h

Kind regards,
Bill

@Shirley Setpally , so what does the updated field actually display when the rule is run? Does it show <48h ago?

Jack Brickey

Agree here that was my first thought but I have never actually played with the condition @Shirley Setpally was illuminating and am interested in how it works.

HI Bill, this did not work

I tried for querying just the done subtasks from issue tab, don't see any results

project = myProjectName AND issueType = Subtask AND status CHANGED FROM "Code Review" TO "Done

Also how can i use this query to create a rule?

Bill Sheboy

Shirley, did you substitute in your own project name where I put the placeholder: myProjectName?

Once you have a query that works, you could create a rule with a Scheduled trigger running every 48 hours with that JQL, and then transition the issues as you noted earlier.
