Hi @Arnav,

Your conditions are in the wrong place in the rule. The should come before the For Parent branch. So:

* When issue transitioned to In Progress
* If issue type = sub-task
* For parent ...
* Transition issue to In Progress

(your initial trigger already implies that the sub-task you start from is in progress, so no additional validation of statuses would be needed)

Hope this helps!
