Automation to mark related trigger task as done when all related tasks are marked as done.

Dave W September 11, 2023

Hi brains trust,

We use work management and I have an automation scenario that does the following

  1. When a task in project 1has it's status changed to "In progress" then,
  2. Based on a certain field, create 1-3 related tasks in project 2 (based on the work required)

This part works perfectly, but...

The next part I'm trying to figure out is 

  1. When all related tasks in Project 2 are marked as done then,
  2. Mark the original trigger issue as "Done".

Due to the nature of the process I can't use sub-tasks and they have to be related tasks.

Is anyone able to help? Thank you.

Hello, Good day. You can try the following automation rule.

Hi Mohanraj, in the example where you say condition 'Project'= "Company Scrum", is that = to my project 1 or 2 in my requirement?

i.e. in my requirement, the trigger issue transition would be in Project 2, but I need to close off the parent linked issue in Project 1.

Hello, This rule is for your second requirement.

 

The next part I'm trying to figure out is 

  1. When all related tasks in Project 2 are marked as done then,
  2. Mark the original trigger issue as "Done".
