How to detect when an issue has its sub-tasks deleted/moved (Jira Automation)

Question

Hi,

I want to do an Automation Rule which triggers when an issue loses any of its sub-tasks, i.e.:

* Issue (Task 1) has Sub-Tasks (Sub-Task A and Sub-Task B)
* Sub-Task A is moved to a different parent Issue

I need to perform an action in Task 1, but I cannot find in Jira Automation how to detect when this happens. Any ideas or feedback?

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Ibrahim Ghalghay

In a ticket with Atlassian support team we found that there may be a bug in my instance since the solution they propose don't work for me but it works for me. I'll get back with the insights.

Apart from that, we can keep the conversation going through this post, thank you!

Hi @Ibrahim Ghalghay

I already tried that one, also the "Field edit issue" with "Issue type" and it didn't work 🤷🏻‍♀️
