JIRA Automation blocking/unblocking upcoming tasks

Question

Want to create JIRA automation for some linked issues.I have 5 tasks in the template step 1-5 and I want to create the automation that anytime we create a task from the template only step 1 is open and rest of  step2-5 are blocked.Once step 1 is marked done , step 2 moves from blocked into to-do and so far .

Please post an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution as that will indicate which steps processed.

Next, what is not working as expected?

Finally, the function JQL function createdFromTemplate() is from a marketplace addon.  Have you confirmed that works with automation rules, such as creating a test rule which only writes the results to the audit log?

Hi @Bharpur Singh

What have you tried thus far to solve this?

If you have a rule that is not working as expected, context is important for the community to help.  Please post the following:

* an image of your complete automation rule in a single image for continuity
* images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches
* an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution
* explain what is not working as expected and why you believe that to be the case

If you have not started a rule yet, I encourage you to try to do so.  Successfully using automation rules requires learning and experimentation.

To get you started, your rule could use the issue transitioned trigger and the related issues condition to check the linked issues before changing the "blocking".

Kind regards,
Bill
