Sub task triggers another sub task

Question

I have the following scenario:

Main task with
sub task A
sub task B
sub task C
.....
sub task n

Workflow:
when sub task A is transitioned to "Done", then sub task B should be transitioned to "Select for Implemetation"

when sub task B is transitioned to "Done", then sub task C should be transitioned to "Select for Implemetation"

.......
and so on for all sub tasks up to n.

I haven't found a solution.

Dear @Dieter Hoffmeister,

you could also give the Jira Suite Utils a try. What you probably need are some workflow post functions.

So long

Hello,

You would need an add-on for it.

For example, you could use the Power Scripts add-on:

You could create a post function and check if it is a subtask A, then autotransition the task B.

You can do autotransitioning with the autotransition method.

You can read more about post functions here:

You will need to write some scripts or code to do that.

A post-function on the sub-task "done" transition should be able to

* read for the parent of the current task
* work out from the current sub-task what the next one is
* trigger a transition on the other subtask

I've done something very similar with Scriptrunner, but the "work out what the next one is" only applied to the client, and the code is from 3.12 I think, so not much use to us now.
