When reopening a Sub, can it automatically open the parent?

Question

Hi,

Can I set a post function where when a sub-task is reopened, it will automatically reopen the parent?

JIRA 5.2.

Thanks.

Yes, you can get the parent object of the issue and easily transition it to open state in the post-function (but only do it after checking that the current issue is a sub-task if sub-task and parent share the same workflow)

Here's the code in the answer, you need script runner installed.
