How to automatically change Status of Linked Issues?

Question

Suppose I have 3 Issues with key 1,2 and 3. I marked issue 2 and 3 as Duplicate(Status) and linked with Issue 1 which is currently IN PROGRESS(status).

Issue 1 : IN PROGRESS

Issue 2: Duplicate (Linked with Issue 1 as it is duplicate of same)

Issue 3: Duplicate (Linked with Issue 1 as it is duplicate of same)

Now when I fix Issue 1 which is IN PROGRESS and change its Status to Ready For Retest, I want the remaining 2 Issues i.e (Issue 2 and 3) should change their status to Ready for Retest Automatically. Is it Possible ?

Hi @Akshay Laykar,

I am sorry but I don't know any way to do this without addons.

Thank You @Bastian Stehmann for your response.

Can't we do the same without using any Add-on?

Hi @Akshay Laykar,

and welcome to our community.

It seems like you are using jira cloud, so maybe this add-on will help:

At least in documentation is described what you want to do:
