How to Automatically Move Story to "Failed" Status When Task Fails?

[Saraswathikotala]

Hello Atlassian Community,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm currently working on a Jira Cloud project with a hierarchical structure where Epics contain Stories, and Stories contain Tasks.

What I'm trying to achieve is an automated workflow that, when a Task's status is set to "Failed," the corresponding Story under the same Epic should also be moved to a "Failed" status.

I've explored Jira Automation, but I'm not quite sure how to set up this specific rule. Can someone please provide guidance or steps on how to achieve this automation?

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
