How to transition parent when subtasks are completed automation

Mukthadir Sikdar March 18, 2021

How do i transition the parent to go through each status only when each subtask is completed within the parent issue.

E.g.
status 1. (when all subtasks are are completed in issue move parent status to - 2.)
status 2. when all subtasks are are completed in issue move parent status to - 3.)
status 3. when all subtasks are are completed in issue move parent status to - 4.)
... and so on

Please can someone screenshot the layout of the automation rule

THANKYOU.

Hi @Mukthadir Sikdar , 

 

you can use the following rule :

Then you can copy it and use it for any other status you need to synchronize.

 

Let me know if this helps,

Hi @Mukthadir Sikdar 

What have you tried thus far for your use case?  As this is a commonly requested need, Atlassian has provided both examples and a template.

For an example, please look here: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library/rules#/rule/140671

For a template to get you started, please navigate to project settings > automation > library and you will see the starting rule.

Your specific need spans different status values, so consider if you want one rule that checks each status, one by one, or multiple rules (one for each status transition).  The one-rule approach will be easier to maintain.

Best regards,

Bill
