Automatic status change when issue gets blocked by linking

[AEuler]

Dear Community, I would like the issues in my Jira projects to automatically get a blocked status when they get a "blocked by" link.

In this regard I have already found the following channel. However, during implementation and testing, I found that this implementation helps when I look at the issues from the perspective of the blocking issue. However, I would like (also due to the large number of potentially blocking issues, in which I also have no administrative permissions) to consider the check of the link from the perspective of the blocked issues.

My automation from the point of view of the blocking ticket:

Hi @AEuler 

As far as I got your requirement right you´d like to set the destination issue to a blocked status. 

So let´s say we have "Story A" and "Bug B" which blocks the story (--> so story gets "blocked by" bug). In this case the story is the destination issue of the issue linking and you would like the story to automatically transition to a "blocked/waiting for dependency status".

If this is correctly interpreted there is a special branch "destination issue" I would suggest to use. see the screenshot below:

(just change to your special status name).

Hope this was helpful.
