In SCRUM , when I move a subtask to Done, the parent story does not automatically move to Done status. There is a 'Move to Done' button, which we have to click to move the story to Done. 

Is there are way this can be done automatically, when all the sub-tasks are moved to Done?

You will need an addon for that to automate this. Have a look at Marketplace...some suggestions to consider: Scriptrunner, Power Scripts, Automation for Jira.

Thanks Jack. Is there any other alternative like modifying the Workflow of Story and Sub-tasks? It used to work before, but unsure that changed.

so, i did a bit more research and found this document pointing to Miscellaneous workflow extensions. you might have a look at that. still it is a paid addon. maybe there is another way. but no time to dig further at the moment.
