I want my automation to: * flag an issue when it's blocked by another issue * unflag when it's not blocked anymore To cover these cases, I've created some automations that work for some cases: * When blocking issue is added → Flag blocked issue * When blocking issue is resolved → Unflag blocked issue However the issue doesn't get unflagged when all blocking issue are unlinked. I tried this automation but it doesn't work for some reason. Questions: * What's wrong with the rule above? * Is there an easier way to achieve my goal? (vs creating multiple rules to cover all cases)

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

How to unflag an issue when it's not blocked anymore?

I want my automation to:

flag an issue when it's blocked by another issue
unflag when it's not blocked anymore

To cover these cases, I've created some automations that work for some cases:

When blocking issue is added → Flag blocked issue
When blocking issue is resolved → Unflag blocked issue

However the issue doesn't get unflagged when all blocking issue are unlinked. I tried this automation but it doesn't work for some reason.

Questions:

What's wrong with the rule above?
Is there an easier way to achieve my goal? (vs creating multiple rules to cover all cases)

@Marc -Devoteam- that did not work.

Interestingly I just checked the audit log and it marks the automation as working in my tests:

So I thought maybe the issue comes from the action, not the trigger. I added a simple label edit to the rule to validate this assumption, but still nothing happens

Hi @Nils Medina

Did the issue the rule actioned on hade a flag set?

Or does the linked issue, has the flag set?

Or if the current issue has a flag, does the current issue have more linked issues with "is blocked by" and or "blocks"?

Nils Medina_as6se5

@Marc -Devoteam- Ah interesting your second question made me realise that the linked issue is the one that gets unflagged! How should I change the rule so that the blocked issue gets updated? I'm a bit confused by what "current issue" target means
