Howdy! I have been trying to create automation for the following: * Story Issue has 3 different Sub-Task issue types:* QA Task * Dev Task * UI Task * When the Dev Task transitions to DONE I would like the UI Task to transition to "Ready for UI"* In the workflow, ALL statuses may transition to this status. Hoping someone can help me out with this. It seems simple, but I have really been struggling. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Lesly Cracchiolo For a question like this, context is important for the community to help. Please post the following: * what type of project is this: company-managed, team-managed, JPD, etc. * 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 Kind regards, Bill

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; } } }

Transition a Sub-Task when another Sub-Task type is moved to Done

Howdy!

I have been trying to create automation for the following:

Story Issue has 3 different Sub-Task issue types:
- QA Task
- Dev Task
- UI Task
When the Dev Task transitions to DONE I would like the UI Task to transition to "Ready for UI"
- In the workflow, ALL statuses may transition to this status.

Hoping someone can help me out with this. It seems simple, but I have really been struggling.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Bill!

I have tried SEVERAL options and none of them work so I am hoping someone can help me from scratch.

Expected behavior: When the Dev Task (Sub-Task type) is transitioned to Done I would like another the UI Task (Another Sub-Task type in the same story) to automatically transition to Ready for UI.

My workflow allows for this transition in both cases, I just cannot get the automatic trigger to work.

Seeing what you tried will help to rule out (no pun intended) potential problems and identify what prevented the rule from working.

The most basic rule to do this would be:

trigger: work item transitioned to "Done"
condition: work item type is "Dev Task"
branch: on JQL to the other sub-task -- parent = {{triggerIssue.parent}} AND issueType = "UI Task" AND status != "Ready for UI"
- action: transition to "Ready for UI"
