Rule that checks Epic (parent) status

[Melissa]

Hello

I'm working on a rule that would check the Epic (Parent) status.

Requirement: 

• Task is closed
• Task Summary equals Published
• Check the Epic (parent) Status
• If Epic(parent) equals Candidate Send email

Rule:

• Issue Transitioned from Open, Reopen to closed
• Condition - Summary contains "Published"
• Branch Rule - Epic (Parent)
• Condition - status equals Candidate  [This is where I'm having issues]
• If true Send email

I'm having problem in the Branch Rule I choose type of related issues: Epic (parent) 

and in the condition I can select Status from epic issue but I can't choose that status

Help!!

Hi @Melissa could you explain more about how you can't choose the status? Does the status you want show up in the list of statuses? If not, are the other statuses you expect to see there?

@David Blank I was able to figure it out.  So I changed Branch from Epic to Current Issue then I compared the epic state to Candidate.

I wanted to capture the status change but when I use {{#changelog.status}} I get an error message and my rule fails.  Any Suggestions ?

@Melissa Are you wanting to see the status it changed from? {{#changelog.status}}{{fromString}}{{/}}   will give you the previous status.
