In JIRA, is it possible to update all tickets in an EPIC from "Ready" to "Implementing"

Question

When I transition an EPIC from "Ready" to "Implementing", is there a way I can automatically ensure all the tickets within that EPIC are also transitioned from "Ready" to "Implementing" ?

Essentially if I have <X> tickets in the EPIC, I would like to be able to not have to manually change their status from "Ready" to "Implementing"....and would like to know if there is an automated or quicker way in JIRA to do this.

You can search the Epic through Filters.

Then bulk edit it.

Thanks for the quick response Ollie.  We are using on-premises JIRA version 9.2.0 (released 2022-08-25)....I'm not sure if this version has the ability to set automation triggers to transition !

I'll take a look though.

Hi @Damion Reeves ,

You can try to achieve this through automated rules.
