Automation Rule applicable to tasks within same epic.

[Munir Patel]

Hi,

How can I create an Automation Rule for the below scenario.

The project has Epics and tasks within it.

Is there a way an Automation Rule can be set where Trigger is one of the task in an EPIC and the action required is on another task in the same EPIC.

Thanks

Hi @Munir Patel ,

Yes its possible, please have a look at below screenshot. What its doing is

When is task is transition, it will check the executed task epic link and then get all tasks with same epic link and then transition them to done status. You can add further parameters like sequence number .

Hi Munir - you should be able to. Can you give an exact example?

[Munir Patel]

Hi John, thanks for your quick response

The scenario is:

Whenever any TaskA is completed and transitioned to Status Done in EPIC1

then I want to check another TaskB in backlog in the same EPIC1 which has a "Task sequence#" as 1 and move it to status "Assigned".

Hi John,

below is the automation rule. Need to make it within the same EPIC of the task in the trigger
