Auto close Parent Link issues when all Child issues are marked as Done.

Oliver Andrews_t5662d

Hi all,

I've been wracking my brain trying to figure this automation out, hoping you could help:

• When all Releases within an Initiative are Done, set the Release to Done. 
• When all Epics within a Release are Done, set the Release to Done.

I've got it working for tasks within Epics but I believe the reason this is complicated is because "Releases" and "Initiatives" are new ticket hierarchies I have created above Epics and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get Jira Automation to check the child tickets of these hierarchies to ensure they're all marked as Done.

My Hierarchy:

Initiative->Release->Epics->Stories/Tasks

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Oliver Andrews 

Providing us with the details of what you have tried and how it has not achieved your desired outcome would be helpful.

I did find these posts where a similar topic was raised about transitioning higher level parents based on their children. You might find them helpful.
