Hello, we use JIRA as a ticketing system and we also use master incident and children incidents linked to it when the issue is a problem. Is it possible that when a master issue (which has many sub-tasks) changes of status, JIRA updates the status of all the children (sub-tasks) linked to it? Thanking you in advance!

Master - Children status change

Hi @Francis Bleunar

You will need addon like JSU or scriptrunner (for scriptrunner take a look at this code it could be a good start)

Hello Francis,

As @Mohamed Benziane mentioned, the JIRA Suite Utilities add-on has a post function called Copy Value From Other Field that you can use to copy the status of the parent issue to a sub-task, so it would not need any code (if you are not very familiar to it):
