Looking to automate marking an "Epic status" "Done" when the Epic status field is moved to "Done".

[Galina Kumykova]

As of now, there are two fields that need to be moved to "Done" (for example) status - "Epic status" and status (issuetype=epic status).

I am looking for ways to automatically move the "Epic status" to same state as the issuetype=epic status.

Any help is appreciated.

I've answered the question on your other thread.  You can use Jira automation for this task - but Epic status is locked, so only has 3 values.

Hi Kumykowa,

This can be done through workflow or project automation.

For Project Automation, configure it when your Issue Transitions to Done and matches Issuetype = Epic, set an action to update the Epic Status field (edit field action) with the below condition

EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize @Chris Buzon has already answered in a detailed manner earlier

Thanks,

Aditya

Hi @Galina Kumykova ,

there is also a page in the Jira documentation regarding „working with epic statuses:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver0811/working-with-epic-statuses-1019393039.html

Could also be solved with a workflow-post-function.
