How to make the parent issue take on a status of a sub-task based on different sub-task transition.

Question

Hi all.

Is there a way to auto transition a user-story based on the status of its sub-tasks?

For example:

1. The 1st sub-task is moved into dev -> Set User Story ticket (parent) to 'In Progress'/'In Development'

2. If all the sub-tasks are done -> set User Story to 'Ready for Testing'.

I'm very new to jira cloud administration, so I need a dumb proof guide if someone is willing to assist.

Thank you.

You can find ids of all transitions if you go to project settings -> workflows and open the required workflow:

Thank you, Alexey. Is 121 a uniform ID for transitioning from Open to In Dev? If not, how can I find what is the transition ID?

Hello, You would need an add-on for it. For example, you could use the Power Scripts add-on: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/43318/power-scripts-jira-script-automation?hosting=cloud&tab=overview You could create a post function for the subtask moving into dev with a script like this: , parent);autotransition(121 This script would move parent of the sub task to the dev status. 121 is the id of the transition leading to the dev status. You could create a similar post function for the done status. You can find more info about post functions here: https://confluence.cprime.io/display/JJUPIN/Customizing+workflows
