How do you automatically re-open an issue when the sub-task is re-opened?

[Benedict Bacayon]

Say you have an issue and it's sub-tasks resolved/closed. You then need to re-open the sub-task, is there a way to open the parent issue when a sub-task is re-opened?

I've created a plugin with several workflow plugins for subtasks.

You can use the "Transition Parent Issue Function" and specify the transition id for the parent issue workflow.
I hope it helps.

There are already a number of plugins to help you do that:

Eva Lee is right, but they will spare you to dig too much in JIRA.

The only way I can think of at the moment is to create a post-function plugin where it reopen the main task for you, similar to the existing post-function where it close teh parent when the subtask is closed. I dont think you can do it any other way than customize plugin
