Update epic status according to child issues

Assem E

In epic we have many issues in different types. It is necessary to automate Epic status regarding these issues statuses. For example, if there is QA task in progress, Epic should be in Testing status even if there are other tasks of analysis and development. When QA task is done6 epic should return to Dev status since actual child issues are in Development progress

should be implemented in Jira Data Center

Hey @Assem E 

You can create the following automation:

 

1. Trigger: 

• Set the trigger to "Issue transitioned".
• Specify the child issue type (e.g., Story, Task).
• Define the status transition that should trigger the automation (e.g., from "In Progress" to "Done").

2. Condition: 

• Use a "Related issues condition".
• Select the "Epic" as the parent issue.
• Choose "Stories (or other issues in the Epic)" as the related issues.
• Add a condition to check if all related issues are in the desired status (e.g., "Done").

3. Action: 

• Add an "Edit Issue" action.
• Select the "Epic" as the issue to edit.
• Choose the field to update (e.g., "Status").
• Set the desired status for the Epic (e.g., "Done").
  
  

Example:

Let's say you want to automatically move an Epic to "Done" when all of its stories are moved to "Done". 

1. Trigger: When a story is transitioned to "Done".
2. Condition: If all stories related to the Epic are in "Done" status.
3. Action: Transition the Epic to the "Done" status.
