Want yo move story or sub-task into "In-progress" from "To Do" when a user logs hours against it.

Question

Hello Team,

We have to manually keep moving stories or sub-tasks from "To Do" to "In-progress" every time.This is going to be time consuming where there are lot of them.

Please let us know can we make this action automatic, when user Log-work hours against any story or sub-task. That story or sub-task is moved to In-progress?
Then when all sub-tasks are marked DONE, move story to DONE as well.

Thanks!

Ricard would not have lead you to ScriptRunner if it were.  You need code to do this, there is non for it in plain Jira, so you need an add-on to provide it.

Off-the-shelf, you could force your humans a little bit.  Put a "workflow property" on the to-do status that says "can not log work", then they'll be forced to move to in-progress before they can!

Is there any workaround for this without using add-on/plugin??

Hello!

To automate this process you should use adaptavist tool called ScriptRunner (ScriptRunner Web).

With this tool you can automate all process whatever you want.

In this case probably you will create a 'Event Listener' to wait some changes about log-work and then change issues status.

You will find a lot information about scriptrunner options. I use it in my company and it's incredible for automate processes in Jira.

Thank's and King regards.
