Groovy script to change the Parent issue status when child status is changed

SHANAVASH MOHAMED

Hi everyone, I am aware of Workflow plugin but client is not ready to buy it. I am trying to figure out a script so that the parent status changes when child status is changed. 

E.g. When i was created one story and under 2 more sub-tasks when i changed sub task the transition to ToDo -> In Progress automatically updated on parent status is ToDo -> In Progress. If possible Please tell me.

Hi,

I don't know which add-on are you planning to use, but with Jira Misc Workflow Extensions you can add a postfunction in your workflow that, in a defined step (for example, "Start progress"), you can transition the parent issue with the status you define, and without needing a script.

It also allows you to add a comment, set conditions and some configurations.

I attach screenshots as you can see it:

 

Anyway, if you want to do this with a script instead of using this add-on, maybe THIS answer could help you.
