When updating a start or end date, I am trying to automatically adjust everything after that.

Joe Mraz_mp5t0n

I have a group of linked stories under an epic that have start and due dates. If I need to push out a due date I want the rest of the stories to automatically update their start and end dates to conform with that change and adjust by the same amount.

I am not sure how to build an automation like this and need some help.

Hello @Joe Mraz

When you say the issues are linked do you mean that they are linked to each other? What link type(s) are you using? How are you indicating that the Start Date of Issue X is dependent on the Due Date of Issue Y?

How many such issues exist in your longest "chain" of such relationships?

Hello Trudy. Basically, the stories are a phased approach in this case. So story 1 is linked (blocks) to story 2. Story 1 needs to be completed to work on story 2. If story 1 needs to be extended, then I want story 2 to be pushed out but keep their current amount of time for story 2 but push it out. Then it would push out story 3, 4, etc, so that we make one update to a story timeline and the rest updates properly.

This chain is currently 10 stories.

I have provided an example of how to do that with an Automation rule in my answer on this post:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/How-to-move-a-ticket-forward-in-timeline-when-is-blocked-by/qaq-p/2628902

Note that this rule needs to call itself recursively to go through the chain of linked issues. There is a limit of 10 such calls so if you have more than 10 issues in the chain following the first one you update, then the rule will update only the first 10. And you have to check the box on the Rule Details page to "Check to allow other rule actions to trigger this rule. Only enable this if you need this rule to execute in response to another rule."
