How to make the parent issue take on a status of a sub-task based on different sub-task transition.

[Gil]

Hi all.

Is there a way to auto transition a user-story based on the status of its sub-tasks?

For example:

1. The 1st sub-task is moved into dev -> Set User Story ticket (parent) to 'In Progress'/'In Development'

2. If all the sub-tasks are done -> set User Story to 'Ready for Testing'.

I'm very new to jira cloud administration, so I need a dumb proof guide if someone is willing to assist.

Thank you.

Hello,

You would need an add-on for it.

For example, you could use the Power Scripts add-on:

You could create a post function for the subtask moving into dev with a script like this:

autotransition(121, parent);

This script would move parent of the sub task to the dev status.

121 is the id of the transition leading to the dev status.

You could create a similar post function for the done status.

You can find more info about post functions here:

Thank you, Alexey. Is 121 a uniform ID for transitioning from Open to In Dev? If not, how can I find what is the transition ID?

You can find ids of all transitions if you go to project settings -> workflows and open the required workflow:
