Transition a parent Initiative when a Child Epic transitions

Adam Taylor_xih0w1

Hi all,

I have an automation that transitions an Epic from 'To Do' to 'In Progress' when one of its child Issues (e.g. Story) transitions from 'To Do' to 'In Progress'.

I'd like to have the same thing for Initiatives in relation to their child Epics - i.e. I'd like an Initiative to transition from 'To Do' to 'In Progress' when the first of its child Epics transitions from 'To Do' to 'In Progress'.

However, when I try to set this up in Jira Automation, I can't find a 'Branch rule / related issues' for parent Initiatives, just parent stores for subtasks and parent epics.

Any ideas?

There is not a branch for the extended hierarchy available with Advanced Roadmaps.
