Find subtasks of a specific type in a specific state

unknown

Hello, I tell you my problem:

A short time ago I created a new issuetype that has a subtask format (this issue is called blocking), after creating it I found myself looking for an automation that solves the problem that I will comment on below:

1) I need an automation that marks with a flag when a story has as a child a lock in the active state (the lock only has the active and done states).

2) The second automation should "remove" the flag when the history has all locks in the Done state.

I already did the first automation, but the second is the one that leaves me with the most doubts, since I don't know how to search among all the subtasks that have a history, only those that are of the blocking type and that are done. Since if a story has 2 blocks, one active and one finished, it should be marked with the flag, but when the one that is active passes to done, the flag should be removed. In addition, within that story there may be common subtasks (those that come by default in Jira) and the locks that I just mentioned.

Hi @[deleted]

Just to confirm you're looking for two rules (one of which works)...

1. Add Flag if an Issue has any open "Blocking" Sub-task
2. Remove Flag if an Issue's "Blocking" Sub-tasks are all in Done

If yes, I've provide both rules below, just for clarity.

 

---

Rule 1 - Add Flag:

• Trigger: Issue Created
• Condition: Issue Fields Condition
  • Issue Type = Blocking
• Branch: Related Issues = Parent...
  • Condition: Issue Fields Condition
    • Flagged is empty 
  • Action: Edit Issue
    • Flagged = Impediment

^ I've used Issue Created as issues are created in an open Status, thus avoiding the need for additional conditions based on Status.

Rule 2 - Remove Flag:

• Trigger: Issue Transitioned
  • To Status: Done
• Condition: Issue Fields Condition
  • Issue Type = Blocking
• Branch: Related Issues = Parent...
  • Condition: Related Issues Condition
    • Related Issues: Sub-tasks
    • Condition: All match specified JQL
    • JQL: issuetype = Blocking AND status = Done
  • Condition: Issue Fields Condition
    • Flagged is not empty
  • Action: Edit Issue
    • Flagged = NULL - leave it empty

^ Using the first Condition in the Branch, to check all the Parent's Blocking sub-tasks each time the rule is triggered, will ensure it is only executed when all the relevant children are in the Done Status.
