Transition status based on last child status

I've created an automation that should transition a Parent issue when all child issues are transitioned to a status.  I'm assuming I need to set up an automation for each separate transition?

Here is where I'm at:

The challenge is in the condition.  I've tried many different ways of trying to accomplish this including using lookupissues.status.name.  

This one is throwing me a curve.  

Here is my Audit Log:

Hi @Jeffrey_Denton 

For this scenario, you may not want to use the Lookup Issues action to detect the child issues' status to transition the parent.  Instead, please try the Related Issues Condition once inside the branch to parent.  There is a template rule for this scenario, which is available under the templates in the rule list.  It is named:

When all child issues are completed → then close parent

You may copy it and modify it for your specific status values.

Kind regards,
Bill
