3-level hierarchy in Jira: Story → Task → Sub-task
Automation 1 (Working Fine)
- Trigger: When a Sub-task transitions from any state to "Unit Testing"
- Action: The parent Task transitions to "Ready for QA"
- ✅ This automation works as expected.
Automation 2 (Not Triggering)
- Trigger: When a Task transitions to "Ready for QA"
- Action: The parent Story (linked issue) should transition to "Waiting for QA"
- ❌ This automation is not triggering even though the Task transitions to "Ready for QA."
Possible Cause
The transition of the Task to "Ready for QA" is performed by Automation 1 instead of a manual action. By default, Jira Automation does not trigger another automation when an issue is updated by an automation rule.
What should be the cause and solution for this?
