How to close a linked issue when an issue is closed using automation?

Jamshaid

I have two differrent projects TM and CO. Each issue in TM has a clone in CO created using Jira automation.

Here is the link between both on the UI

TM - is cloned by- CO
CO - clones - TM

I want to close the TM ticket when a CO ticket is closed. I am unable to find a way to do this.

I have tried Transition issue -> Done using automation but it looks like it does not work for the linked project. I have got the linked issue using

{{#issue.issuelinks}}{{#if(equals(type.name,"Cloners"))}}{{outwardIssue.key}}{{^last}}, {{/}}{{/}}{{/}}

and the resulting key is stored in a variable. How do I close this parent issue? I can create automation in both TM and CO projet.

Thanks

You can try using the following automation.

This automation operates by checking for linked issue types when a ticket is transitioned to the "done" column. If the linked issue type is "clones," it will then move the parent issue to the "done" column.
