Hi jira community
Our team is using story and subtask.
Is it possible to close story using JIRA automation when all subtasks that belong to the story closed ?
Hello @光野 かおる ,
Thank you for your question! 😊
You can refer to the attached screen shot to check the possibility to set up a Jira automation rule in Jira Cloud that automatically closes a story when all its subtasks are closed.

You can refer Automation For Jira - How to write a rule to close a parent issue after all sub-tasks have been closed
Hello @光野 かおる
You can automatically transition a Story to "Done" when all its Subtasks are closed using Jira’s built-in automation. Here's how:
Go to Project Settings → Automation.
Click Create Rule.
Set the Trigger:
Choose Issue Transitioned → To status: Done (or whatever your subtask resolution status is).
Add a Condition:
Issue Fields Condition → Issue type = Sub-task.
Add a Branch:
Select Parent.
Add a Condition inside the Parent branch:
Sub-tasks → All match: Status equals Done.
Add an Action:
Transition issue → Move the Story to Done.
If you're considering third-party apps and want more granular control (especially if you don’t use subtasks), then Smart Checklist is a powerful alternative. As a company's representative I'd recommend to check check the app at the Atlassian Marketplace
Some teams use Smart Checklist items instead of subtasks to break down a Story into smaller pieces.
You can automate Story transition based on Smart Checklist completion — including when mandatory checklist items are all marked as done.
Set mandatory items in your Smart Checklist.
Use Smart Checklist automation triggers in combination with Jira Automation to transition the issue once all checklist items are completed.
