Automation rule for Status sync for Feature and epic (child issue)

[ANISH TANEJA]

Hello Community,

I was following this thread below:

Solved: Automation for Moving Epics to In Progress/Done wh... (atlassian.com)

But I am looking for a different solution.

I am looking for a jira automation rule which when enabled to sync the feature with the epics (child issues). Whenever the epics goes into 'In Progress' status, the feature status should be updated to 'In Progress' as well.

Hi @ANISH TANEJA 

For a question like this, please post an image of your complete automation rule, images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches, an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and explain what is not working as expected.  Those will provide context for the community to offer ideas.  Thanks!

Until we see those...

Features are not in the built-in issue hierarchy, and so I hypothesize you have added them.  In that case, you may need to use JQL to branch to the parent, such as with:

• trigger: issue transitioned
• condition: issue type equals Epic
• branch: on JQL of key = {{triggerIssue.parent}} AND issueType = "Feature"
  • condition: add any additional conditions needed
  • action: transition the issue

As you are doing this, please consider the case of the Feature has multiple children Epics: what should happen to transitioning the Feature for differences in child Epic status values?

Kind regards,
Bill
