How can one automatically modify the status of dependent tasks through the configuration of automati

Moriarty Chiu

I currently have three tasks: task1, task2, and task3. Task2 depends on task1, while task3 depends on both task1 and task2. I would like to automatically set a block status for the dependent tasks when their respective dependencies are not marked as "done". Conversely, when the dependencies are marked as "done", I would like to automatically set the tasks as "Todo". Specifically, when the status of task1 is not "done", it should automatically set both task2 and task3 as "block". When the status of Task1 is "done", it should automatically set Task2 as "Todo".

I have attempted numerous approaches without success. Please advise on how I can achieve the desired outcome.

Hi @Moriarty Chiu ,

You need to create 2 rules, One on Issue linking and another on issue transition. Please use below rules to achieve your requirement.

Hi @Mohammed Aamer Khan ,

Thank you very much for your response, but I created two rules following the method you provided, yet they did not fulfill my requirements.

Upon reviewing the audit logs, I have discovered that neither of these rules were executed.

Hi @Moriarty Chiu

Please check the link type you are using.
Rule 1 will execute when you link an issue.
Rule 2 will execute when you transition / Change status of issue.

Please check that way and let me know if still they aren't triggered.

Hi @Mohammed Aamer Khan

I have noticed that if we simply change the "Linked issues types" in the "for branch" to "blocks", it will work. However, adding the "is blocked by" rule instead will result in unsuccessful execution. I appreciate your gratitude once again for the assistance provided.

Thanks and Best Regards
