In many occasions i find parent task is still in backlog while it's subtasks are in progress.
I don't want to manually change the status of the parent issue whenever i see it, so i want to build an automation that :
- If a certain sub-task's status is transitioned from backlog to in progress (or closed)
- and if its parent task's status is still backlog,
- the parent task's status automatically changes into in progress
is it possible? I want to to write up JQL to only filter the issues with subtasks, but it seems like JIRA doesnt have a corresponding key to use.
Hi @jennyk ,
Welcome on the Atlassian Community.
With automation for Jira it is possible to create a rule that If the sub-task moves to ‘In Progress’ then move the parent issue to ‘In Progress’ also.
See this example on the atlassian playground.

Marco
Thanks, it really helped!

I would like to ask if Is it possible also the way around?
I mean: to create a rule which upon Parent transition to "In Progress" automatically set its first sub-task also to "In Progress" (from Open, its original status).
Thanks in advance, Vincenzo.
