Move Parent to Next Status When Sub-task Fields are Not Empty using JIRA Automation Rule in JIRA DC

Hi Community,

My use-case is:

  • Parent is sitting on Status A
  • It's all Sub-tasks are sitting on Status A
  • Parent can transition to Status B along with Subtasks when:
    • it's all Sub-tasks' custom fields are Not Empty
    • And then Checkbox present on Parent is Enabled.

Please guide on how to configure the above using Jira Automation Rule in JIRA data-center, so that when Parent transitions to Status B, all its Sub-tasks also transitions to Status B if above conditions are satisfied. 

Thanks

Good Evening @Digvijay Singh Gehlot

I didn't get the second condition well about the Checkbox. Is it customfield, and is it present only in the parent issue?
You can try automation like this.

First.
Trigger --> Issue Transition
Condition 1 --> Checking the parent issue(In my example, it is Story)
Condition 2 --> Checking Sub-Tasks customfield is not empty(through related issue condition)
Branch Rule - For Sub-Tasks
Action --> Transition issue to the same status as trigger

Let me know, if there is any question.
