Sub-Task Auto-Transition based on Parent state transition

V December 16, 2012

Hi All,

We have a requirement like

When a User Story enters state 'X' , all sub-tasks (defect) associated with the User Story should be automatically moved to state 'x' if the conditions "Cause" = "Performance" or "PA value" > 0 are satisfied. Where 'Cause' and 'PA value' are custom fields associated to defect.

Kindly let us know how to achieve this. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks in Advance,

Venkat

HI venkat,

you can also do it using Java Script.Here's the code,

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e,context) {

checkCondition();

});

checkCondition();

function checkCondition(){

if($('#CauseId').val() == "performance" || $('#PAId').val()>0){

$.get("/rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}", function(response) {
Read the response get all the subtask(defect) of the issue from the response,

read the issue's state from the response and put into a local variable.

});

for(loop for all subtask with defect){

$.post("/rest/api/2/issue/{subtaskissueIdOrKey}/transitions","fields required in json format", function(response) {});

}

}

}

});

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You should check out JJupin for that. As a matter of fact, we have a tutorial that might be of interest to you here: http://confluence.kepler-rominfo.com/display/JJUP20/Recipe+-+Autotransitioning+subtasks . It explains how to automatically start progress on all subtasks when starting progress on the parent subtask.

In a similar faschin you can add a SIL Listener that will check your condition every time the issue is updated and autotransition the subtasks if necessary.
