Issue linked to an idea

[Lucas de Souza]

Hello everyone,

Can we automatically transition an idea to "In Progress" when any linked issue in "Delivery Tickets" changes to "In Progress"? Additionally, can the idea be marked as "Done" once all linked Delivery Tickets are completed?

Thank you!

You can set it up this way. For me, the "sister" ticket of an Idea ticket is an epic. You need to start there where you link your jira to the idea first.

Hi Lucas,

Yes, that’s definitely possible — but it depends on the tools you're using (e.g., Jira Automation or a third-party app like ScriptRunner or Automation for Jira).

If you’re using Jira Cloud, you can set this up with Automation Rules:

For transitioning the idea to “In Progress”:

Trigger: Issue transitioned to “In Progress”

Condition: Issue is linked to an Idea (use issue links or custom field)

Action: Transition the linked Idea to “In Progress”

For marking the idea as “Done” once all delivery tickets are done:

Trigger: Issue transitioned to “Done”

Branch rule / related issues: For linked issues of type “Idea”

Condition: Check if all linked Delivery Tickets are in “Done”

Action: Transition the Idea to “Done”

Let me know if that helps!
