Automation to update status from block to open

Wan Muhd Muhsin_fgr7u8

Hello 

I need help with automation rules to update my bug status from block to open after the blocker issue status change to Closed.

I had done this part, but it only work for one to one link. If bug A block by two Bug (B & C), then bug B update to Closed, Bug A suppose to maintain status as blocked, but instead it changes as Open which is wrong because Bug C still not fix.

 

 

How I want to add checker to check, if this bug still got other block issue link to it and status still not closed, remain bug A as block, only change bug A status from block to Open once all the issue link to it Closed

@Stefan Salzl, if you available, can you also help me on this.

Thank you

Hi @Wan Muhd Muhsin ,

I think the only thing you need here is an additional condition within the branch that checks linked issues. Basically, you can just add Related issues condition, choose linked issues, and set link types (guessing again something like "is blocked by" and "blocks").
What this does is, once you enter each iteration of the branch (so linked issue to the bug which changed to status "Closed"), check linked issues from that issue and check if these linked issues are in a specific status.

To check the status of these linked issues, I guess the easiest way would be to use All match specified JQL condition > in your case matching JQL would be status = Closed. You can see the screenshot below and just adjust the parameters to your needs.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Tom
