Hi, am trying to create an automation Rule for when any chid Story of an Epic is moved to "In progress" Status, the Epic status gets updated to "In progress" automatically. Sharing the rule in screenshot I wrote so far which is failing at 2nd condition when i look at the Audit logs. The first screenshot shows my Rule and 2nd shows the Audit log where it condition did not match the condition. Even though the child story was moved to " In Progress" . I am not sure where my rule is breaking to update the Epic Status. Am i missing any step here?

Rectified the error working as expected

Hello @Anu

The second condition you added, under the branch, is trying to apply the condition to the issue that triggered the rule. The conditions applies only to Epics, and the issue that triggered the rule is not an Epic, so the condition does not pass.

What are you trying to accomplish with adding that condition to your rule?

Sorry about that, I shared the wrong screenshot, my bad.

I am trying to check if any child Story of an Epic is "in Progress" status, the Epic status is also changed to "In Progress"

Hi @Anu

Given what you describe, perhaps you do not need that specific condition on other stories: when the rule triggers and the branch gets to the epic, you know you want the epic in progress also.

Instead should there be a condition so the epic is only transitioned to in progress if it is not already in progress?

Kind regards,
Bill

As I am at very basics of Jira automation so was trying only one scenario where an EPic is created in To do Status, has 5 child User Stories also in To do status.

when one of the Story is moved to " In Progress", Epic's status automatically updates to " In progress" and same am trying with the Rule in screenshot below.

Once, i get comfortable with first rule, I will add other rules. Hope I was able to clarify my scenario.
