Fetch the last due date from sub tasks and update the due date for story

Vasanthram

Hello,

 

I have a story and subtasks under it. Each subtask has a due date, is there a way that I take the last date and update that due date to the story automatically? The dates of the subtask can change as the assignee keeps changing it and the date on the story should get updated. I'm using the Jira server 8.11.x version.

By the way I'm a newbie to script if I'll have to use that, but eager to pickup any possibilities.

Thanks in advance.

I would handle this with scriptrunner.

I'd set up a listener for issue updated that checks for subtasks having their Due Date updated.

When it fires, you'll have to get the parent issue, create a list of that parent's sub-task issue objects, find the one with the greatest value (jira counts later dates as higher value) and set the parent's Due Date equal to that latest date.

Bonus points if you check the sub-tasks's new due date against the parent's existing due date first, then you don't have to set the value unless the subtask due date is later than the parent's
