How to transition parent issue after all subtasks are done?

[Sven Gehrke]

I can't find any sample how to achieve this using JIRA Misc Workflow Extensions. Could someone please provide some Groovy expression for this to work?

[David _old account_ · Accepted solution]

Hi Sven,

you actually don't need Groovy for that. You need to use the Transition Parent issue post-function in conjunction with the Subtask blocking Condition:

• on the workflow of the subtasks (which can be shared with the parent issues if needed), you put the Transition Parent issue post-function on the "Done" transition to trigger the "Done" transition on the parent (don't worry, if the issue isn't a subtask and thus has no parent, the post-function will do nothing)
• on the workflow of the parent issues, you put the Subtask blocking condition on the "Done" transition, specifying that all subtasks must be in the "Done" status

Hope this helps,

David

hi Sven

you can use post function (Transition Parent Issue Post-function) JMWE

select transition name/id

and tick on Conditional execution

def type = issue.getIssueType().getName();
def status = issue.status.name;

if(type == "Sub-task" && status == "Done"){
return true
}

Hello, I can't find --Transition Parent issue post-function in my JIRA software.

Hi Mariami,

You need Jira Misc Workflow Extensions add-on in your instance to see the post-function in the list of post-functions.

Thanks but, is it possible without workflow extensions add-on?

[Radhika Vijji _Innovalog_]

Hi Mariami,

Since you are on the Cloud, you might want to look into "Automation rules" to configure this. Else, you will need a third-party app like JMWE, Scriptrunner, etc (check Marketplace for other apps) to implement this use case.

Hi @Radhika Vijji _Innovalog_

It's a great news but I'm looking for in Automation rules for Jira Cloud and I didn't find the right way to solved this issue.

For now, I cannot get all subtasks and set the status change of my user story when the last subtask has moved. :( 

Do you have an advice ?

Nicolas
