Hi! I am looking for the automation steps for this ask above: Further context: * Epic and Tasks have different workflows * I'd like for the Epic to transition to In progress when issues are moved to in progress (if there are multiple issues linked, then the automation should be triggered when the first chld issue is moved to in progress) * I'd like for the epic to transition to "completed" when ALL child issues have been completed Thank you!

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Automation: Transition Epic in tandem with child issues

Hi! I am looking for the automation steps for this ask above:

Further context:

Epic and Tasks have different workflows
I'd like for the Epic to transition to In progress when issues are moved to in progress (if there are multiple issues linked, then the automation should be triggered when the first chld issue is moved to in progress)
I'd like for the epic to transition to "completed" when ALL child issues have been completed

Thank you!

If you go to Project settings > Automation and look under Library there is a rule called "When all stories are completed → then close epic" that you can use as a starting point, just change the statuses to fit both of your use cases.

Hi @Mikael Sandberg thank you so much! I am having an issue with the in-progress part of this now? It is rejecting my JQL. Could you take a look? Screen Shot 2023-04-12 at 12.07.58 PM.png

@Mikael Sandberg I actually just tried this and it didn't trigger anything for my epic. I am not sure what I did wrong as I copied the rule exactly. In the audit log it says "no actions performed"

Mikael Sandberg

Your JQL is missing status = "In progress", using just = "In progress" is not a valid JQL.

When you did the test, did you move a story/task to completed or an epic?
