How to setup JIRA automation that marks an issue as done when ALL linked issues are done?

For example, I have a story with linked issues of 3 tasks, 1 bug and 1 spike. I want the story to be automatically marked as done once all the linked issues are complete. the link types could possibly vary or all be the same.

Hi @SHEHZADALI ISMAILY 

This is a common use case, and there is a comparable example in the Automation Template Library:

https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library/rules#/rule/140671

You may review that rule, which uses parents and subtasks, and change your rule to check linked issues instead.

Please note and review the specifics of your use case to see if this will work for you.  For example, what happens when one of your 3 tasks is linked to multiple other issues (e.g. stories); what should happen in that case?

Kind regards,
Bill
