Hello

I need an automation that does the following:

if there are linked issues (there could be multiple linked issues)
1. work out the earliest start date and copy that to the trigger issue
2. work out the latest due date and copy that to the trigger issue
add any linked issues from trigger issue to parent issue
work out the earliest start date of all child issues and copy that to the parent issue
work out the latest due date of all child issues and copy that to the parent issue

Also, is there a way to move linked issues to the top of an issue screen?

Hello @Anita Pallas

Have you tried to construct Automation rules for this? If so, show us what you have. If you have not yet tried, I suggest that you do try and then ask questions when you get stuck.

What event (or events) do you want to trigger this automation rule?

In step 2 you mention "linking" the linked issues of the trigger issue to the trigger issue's parent.

Then in step 3 and 4 you talk about getting the dates of the "child" issues and setting the dates of the parent issue.

"Child" issue and "linked" issue are not necessarily the same thing. Can you clarify these references? Are you truly trying to look at linked issues in steps 1 and 2, and separately looking at child issues in steps 3 and 4?

A standard level issue (i.e. Task, Story, Bug) can have child issues (sub-tasks) and linked issues.

An Epic can have child issues and it can have linked issues.

Given that you are working in a Premium subscription there can be additional hierarchy levels above Epic such that Epics are children of other issues types.

How many layers of the hierarchy are you trying to affect with the automation?
