Transitioning Issues through a workflow based on linked issues.

[Laci]

Need some help with the following scenario... we have Scriptrunner on our Jira server instance and would want to utilize that plugin to achieve this.

We use a parent/child relationship between 2 issue types. Issue Type A is the parent, whereas Issue Type B is the child. We achieve this hierarchy by using the "derivation" link type within the "Linked Issues" field.

What we'd like to happen is, when a developer moves Issue B moves from "To Do" to "In Progress", we'd like Issue A to move to "In Progress" as well. Less administrative work for our teams that way.

I appreciate any help or guidance provided!

Hi Laci,

This isn't an uncommon one, but the library doesn't yet have a script for this exact case.  What we do have is https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/transition-an-issue-using-issue-input-parameters for doing the transitions, and if you replace the "find sub-tasks" loop with the "find linked issues" loop from https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/comment-selected-linked-issues you should get what you need!
