How can I trigger Status change of an issue in epic and automaticaly change epic status

[Sona Evanesyan]

Hi, 

I have an idea but still dont know how to implement.

I want to have EPIC status automatically changed from "To do " to "In progress" as soon as one of the tasks in that epic have is started (moved to In progress) .

I guess I need to use automation but not sure on what and how.

Thanks in advance

Hi @Sona Evanesyan 

Here is an example of doing that in the automation template library:
