issueFunction in another issueFunction

Question

I want to close epic automatically when the last issue is closed. The first condition after trigger (closing the issue) is a query wich checks if parent epic contains only closed tasks

issueFunction in issuesinEpics("NOT issueFunction in EpicsOf("status != Closed")")

This query doesn't work and i can't understand why Is it because of the issueFunction putted into another issueFunction? Is there any solution?

Hello @Ivan Mantrov

Are you working with Jira Cloud or Jira Server/Data Center?

I don't think you need to use the issueFunction option at all, depending on which type of hosting you are using. If you are on Jira Server/Data Center it would also depend on if you are using Automation Lite for Server or Automation for Data Center.

Here is an example of a rule that accomplishes your requirement.

This is valid for Jira Cloud and for Jira Data Center with Automation v8.1

Here is the solution from Stack Overflow:

issueFunction in issuesInEpics("NOT issueFunction in EpicsOf(\"status != Закрыт\")")

One should use a backslash before quotes in the function that is nested in another function
