Change status of epic, when Task transits

Question

Hello

I have a question and am facing a challenge. I want the status of my epics to be moved automatically based on the task. In itself, the rule is quickly created, but what if I have a task in backlog and a task in closed, then Epic status should go “In progress”. Likewise, if I have a task in the status “In Planning”, “On Hold”, “In Progress”, Epic should be “In Progress”. Is there a condition in Automation when all tasks are closed, all epics are closed. If a task is at least “In Planning” or “On Hold”, should Epic be “In Progress”? Epic workflow = Backlog -> In progress -> Closed

Thank you in advance

Thanks for your answer @Bill Sheboy

but it did Not work.

when Issue Transits

If Issuetype is Task

Branch Epic

If Related Issues JQL (Child) are some in Status „In Planning“ , In Progress and closed .

then Transits „In Progress“

In Audit log Stands there is no Action

Hi @Leena Pratheepan -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Please try the Related Issues Condition with JQL in your automation rule.  That will allow checking if some, none, or all of the related issues match your condition to decide how to update the parent epic.

With your scenario, you may want to use an if / else block around those for each case needed.

Kind regards,
