Hello there,
I am currently having my own structure of issues which looks like above:
|-Epic
|--- Level 1 (type of Task)
|------ Level 2 (type of subtask)
When the due date is changed in the Level 2 I need that the Parent (Level 1), update it's due date and consequently the Epic will update it's due date too.
I've already saw the thread "https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Updating-start-and-due-date-on-a-parent-from-its-subtasks/qaq-p/1776092" but I think is something simpler in my case. I should group by the due date of the level 2 subtasks and update the Level 1 with the last due date that I have in the Level 2.
Then group by the due date of level 1 and update the Epic with the last due date that I found.
It's possible? Can you help me on how to do it?
I've read this:
But I cannot undrstand how to perform the "lookup":
Can you give me the right JQL Syntax?
Best Regards,
Giorgio
Hi @Giorgio Rivolta -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
What have you tried thus far to solve this need?
If you have an automation rule which is not working as expected, please provide the following so the community can offer better suggestions:
If you have not yet started a rule, I encourage you to try to do so.
The Lookup Issues action finds the issues matching the JQL criteria provided: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-automation-actions/#Lookup-issues
The specific JQL needed depends upon your rule trigger / syntax. The ORDER BY of Start Date is not needed for this case, as you may find the maximum due date from the lookup results with this: {{lookupIssues.duedate.max}}
Please look here to learn more about writing JQL expressions: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/search-for-issues-in-jira/
I recommend pausing to consider how much accuracy you need for this field, as that will determine how many rules are needed and what their triggers should be. Some example cases are:
Kind regards,
Bill
