Jira automation to check siblings condition to edit parent

[Neville]

For example, 

I have two Stories under same Epic.

Epic A

Story A 
Story B

Scenario A

If Story A move the status to Done and contain label A Then
 
     if Story B contain label A Then

           Epic A add a Label C

How should I do it?

Million Thanks.

Hi @Neville 

Can you please elaborate on this one?

I understand that when Story 1 has label A transitions to Done, you want Epic 1 to be tagged with a specific label.  Where I can use additional context is in the role of Story 2. 

It the intention to run a condition against the status of Story 2 and if NOT resolved, you want the Epic to be tagged with a specific label?

[Neville]

Yes.

For example, I have a Story called Research and a Story called Analysis.

For example

I want add a label to Epic in( research done, Analysis done and ready for refinement ) based on the Story status. So that I can generate the report

Thank you for clarifying. You could do this:

• TRIGGER: Issue Transitioned (To Done)
• IF CONDITION: Labels contains (Research)
  • BRANCH: Epic (Parent)
    • ACTION: Edit Issue
      • Labels (Add)
        • Research_Done
• ELSE: Labels contains (Analysis)
  • BRANCH: Epic (Parent)
    • ACTION: Edit Issue
      • Labels (Add)
        • Analysis_Done

If you're dealing with more than a couple types of stories, you could do something a little more intricate by changing how you tag the stories to include the story type in the summary (e.g. Research: Story 1, Analysis: Story 2).  This will allow a more simplistic rule:

• TRIGGER: Issue Transitioned (To Done)
• BRANCH: Epic (Parent)
  • ACTION: Edit Issue (Add Labels)

    • {{triggerIssue.summary.substringBefore(":")}}_Done

This rule reads in the type of story and appends _Done to the end of it to give you "Research_Done" as an example.

hi @Mark Segall 

 


I created this rule. In general , it's work. But it not very stable. Seems it is because it will run all cases I have.

How can I modify it to

If
else if
else if 

but not 

if 
if 
if

Thanks

When selecting conditions, there's an IF/Else condition.  You want to start your first condition with that and then next the branch under it and I just realized my last response was incorrect.  It should look like this:

• TRIGGER: Issue Transitioned (To Done)
• CONDITION: Issue Type is one of (Task, PD, CD)
• IF CONDITION: 
  • Labels contains Analysis
  • BRANCH: Epic (Parent)
    • Edit Issue: (labels)
      • Add Analysis_Done label
• ELSE CONDITION
  • Labels contains Research
    • Edit Issue: (labels)
      • Add Research_Done label

Sorry about the miscue on my last response.
