I would like to create an automation that close an initiative when all parent epics are closed.
Hello @Sabina Tangaro
Welcome to the Atlassian community.
Can you provide a screen image of an Initiative item showing the related "parent Epics"? Are the "parent Epics" child items under the initiative?
Are the Initiative and related parent Epics all in the same project?
What is your level of access in Jira? Are you a Project Administrator, or a Jira Product Administrator?
Are you familiar with building Automation Rules? If so, what have you tried so far for building this rule? Please share screen images with us and explain what problems you are facing.
Hi, yes I refer to Epics child items under initiative, and Epics and initiative are all in the same project. I'm project Administrator.
I've already created more automation rules like complete an epic when all related user stories are completed. Here is a screenshot:
Thank you for the additional information.
Is that rule image from the same system where you want to create your new rule? If so, based on the icons in it this concerns a Jira Server or Jira Data Center system, not a Jira Cloud system as indicated by the Deployment tag for your post.
The screen image you provided appears to be a rule for updating the parents of Epics based on the change of the Status field of the Epic. If Initiatives are parent issues for Epics it seems like this rule would apply, if the pictured rule is on the target Jira instance.
Is this rule not working? If the rule is not working, describe how it is not working. Are you transitioning an Epic to Completed? Is the rule getting triggered? What is the output in the Audit Log when the rule executes?
Sorry, you are right we are working on Jira Data Center system.
All Initiative and Epics belong to the same project.
My purpose is to create a rule that set an initiative to completed status as all its child epics are set to completed status, in particular when the last child issue (epic) status transit to completed.
Here is a hierarchy:
I changed the epic "PROPRO-55" status from progress to completed, but the initiative "PROPRO-53" did not change its status from progress to completed.
Could you please help me on it?
