Dear all,

We need to implement a new issue type named "major Incident" to which users will link incident related to it like :

- Major Inciden issue
- Incident issue 1
- Incident issue 2
- Incident issue 3

What I need to do is when the Major Incident parent issue is close, I need to close automatically all related Incident issue 1,2 and 3 as above exemple.

What is the proper way to do that in jira cloud I guess by using automation rules ?

Please note that related issue type to Major incident parent are NOT sub task they are linked Issue

Thanks for help
regards

@serge calderara ,

you can try to write a automation rule like this ->

trigger -> when a issue is transitioned to done

branch rule -> write a branch rule for linked issues

action -> close all linked issues (change the status to done)

you can customize this as per your use case.

Please find the screenshot bellow for your reference

kindly accept the answer if this resolves your issue

Hey @Sandesh Shetty

sorry to bother you. The Request Serge had is the kind of exact oppsoite of what im trying to Achieve and maybe you can help me here.

My Automation has to prohibit the transition isntead of triggering it. If any Child ticket is still open or in any other status than Done/Canceled i want the automation, to block the action. 

Do you have any idea how to achieve that?

Thanks 

Janek
