Hello Anik,

It's not possible to do this out-of-the-box in Jira. We had a feature request for it which has since closed, but you will be able to find some workarounds from the case:

* JRASERVER-13012 Auto-adjust parent issue on sub-task status

In addition, I found a few threads on Community with similar workarounds:

* Solved: automatic transition on parent issue when all sub-tasks are closed
* Solved: Help with Parent Transitions upon Sub Tasks Transitioning.
* Solved: How do I get a parent to resolve automatically when all sub-tasks are resolved
* Solved: Script Runner Transition parent issue based on subtask status

Many require add-ons such as Jira Misc Workflow Extensions and Scriptrunner for Jira.

I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Shannon
