I need to automatically updated Due date and start date of Dependencies issues in Advanced Roadmaps

Question

Hi Team,

When a due date of main issue updated, start date and due date of all dependencies issues in timeline should get updated.

Example:  Due date of issues A (Main issue) - updated from Jan 1st to Jan 10th

start date and due date of Issue B (Linked issue) - updated to 9 plus days

Also, start date and due date of issues C(linked issues of B)  should also get updated

Similarly, due date of issue A (Main issue) - Reduced from Jan 1st to dev 31st

start date and due date of issues B (Linked issue) - reduced to minus 1 day

Also, start date and due date of issues C(linked issues of B)  should also reduced

Hi @Meghana PK -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

That is theoretically possible with Jira Automation, but only for up to 10 issue in a chain of issues.  That limit is because such a rule will need to recursively trigger itself, and there is service limit of 10 such loop: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/automation-service-limits/

If you search the community, you will find several questions and posts on this scenario, such as this article written by @Trudy P Claspill

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/Updating-dependent-task-s-dates-when-predecessor-task-date/ba-p/2816977

Please review that article to better understand the solution approach.  And note well: this will update the issue dates and not the dates managed internally by Advanced Planning.

Kind regards,
Bill
