Update issue status when an issue of issue type X linked

Question

Hi

I believe I can do this using automation but am struggling to get it to work. I have two issues:

ISSUE 1 of TYPE Requirement

ISSUE 2 of TYPE Test

There is a issue linking relationship set up called "Requirement Tested" so that I can say ISSUE 1 is "tested by ISSUE 2 and conversely, ISSUE 2 "tests" ISSUE 1.

When I therefore link a test to a requirement (or vice versa) I want the requirements status to change to "COVERED".

CAPS are for clarity only..... This doesn't quite work for me, let me be more explicit:

I have a linked type of "Requirement Tested", outward = "tests", inward = "is tested by".

I then have two issue types:

a requirement - can have a status of NOT COVERED, COVERED, TESTED

a test case - can have a status of PASS, FAIL, or NOT RUN

When I link a Requirement to a Test via "is tested by" I want the Requirements status to change to COVERED.

Similarly, if I link a Test Case to a Requirement by "tests" I would like the Requirements status to change to COVERED.

In pseudo code:

If issue linked THEN

IF (issue type = requirement AND link type = "tested by") THEN

SET current issue status = COVERED

ELSE IF issue type = test case AND link type = "tests" THEN

SET linked issue status = COVERED

ENDIF

Hi Stuart,

You can try this Automation shown in the attachment.

Replace Issue Linked Type name , Status name and Issue Type name as per your requirement.
