Automation based on the summary text and status

Pradheep Ayyanar_zl9k2q

Can we write an automation script checking the summary of the sub task and its status if completed, change the status of few issues to Inprogress.

I have multiple projects, but the summary of this particular task is same for all projects. so i need to trigger based on the text

Ex:

MYProject_1 (sub-task): Ready for construction - if this task is completed

MyProject_2, MyProject_3 - status to be changed to In Progress

Help me out

Hello @Pradheep Ayyanar

Are these issues all in one project or in separate projects?

How do you identify the issues that need to be changed to In Progress? Are they linked to the subtask?

What event do you want to trigger this rule? Would that be the changing of the subtask to Completed?

Project

Epic

Story

Sub-Tasks 1

Sub-Tasks 2

Sub-Tasks 3

[am a beginner to this Jira automation]

I have single project with many epic (which is treated as project) . So to answer your question. Yes its all in a single project but Sub-Tasks 1 under all the Epic to be validated with the same criteria.

ex: if sub-tasks 1 is changed to completed, change the status of Sub-tasks 2

since all my projects with have the summary text for sub-tasks.

status change event is what needs to be triggered

Let me repeat back what I think you said. Correct me if I make an error.

When the status of Sub-task 1 changes to Completed
You want to change the status of Sub-task 2, which is under the same Story as Sub-task 1.

All Sub-task 1 tasks (under multiple Stories, under multiple Epics) have identical Summaries.

You want this rule to be triggered for every Sub-task 1.

The rule will identify that it is Sub-task 1 that changed to Completed by looking at its Summary, so that the rule runs only for Sub-task 1 issues.

If that is all correct, how do you identify which issue is Sub-task 2; the one that needs to be updated? Do all Sub-task 2 issues have a specific Summary unique to Sub-task 2 issues? Do you create a link between Sub-task 1 and Sub-task 2 under a given Story?

Hi @Trudy P Claspill

Yes you are inline with my request.

All the sub-task 2 will have the same summary text for all epics (projects).

So when task 1 is complete.

I need to update the status of task 2 in the same epic to In progress

if the sub-task 2 issue has to be linked as "related to" or any link issue, i can do that. so we can identify easily?

Note: So its all specific to the EPIC. not all the sub-tasks in each of Epic should be changed.
