Does Jira automatically change the epic status when….?

Question

01/19/24

Can Jira automatically change the epic status to "Work in Progress" when a child User Story or Tech Story status has moved to something other than "Backlog?

I’m looking for an automatic solution in an effort to avoid manually updating the epic status.

Thanks in advance for your reply,
Darline

Hi Laurie,

Thanks so much for the quick reply!

I will do some research in creating an automation rule.

Thanks again, Darline
