Move completed subtasks from one epic to another

[Francisco Navarro]

Dears, 

dears, I need to create an automation that will move all the closed subitems that are created under an epic "X" to another epic "Y" that will store only closed items.

Simple one. Based on exact situation need to adjust conditions.

Hi @Francisco Navarro 

What problem are you trying to solve by doing this?  That is, "why do this"?  Knowing that may help the community to offer better suggestions.

Until we know that...

Normally an Epic represents a larger request / work item.  Any child issues (e.g., Story, Task, or Bug) associated with the Epic often support delivering that specific larger request.  Moving them to a different parent Epic would invalidate that relationship.

Kind regards,
Bill

The problem I need to solve is:

- The epic "X" is one that encompasses a series of daily tasks, which must be closed during the opening day. Once closed, the user wants them to no longer appear under said epic but wants to be able to see them in another "closed tasks" epic. This is because the next day they will be created again.

Although you could create an automation rule, triggered on transitioning the issue to done, and then edit to change the parent to another issue, I do not understand...

Why are these daily tasks associated to any epic at all?  What value does that provide?

If the issues were just daily tasks, not associated to an epic, no further updates would be needed.

Dear Bill, 

It could be a story, it would be the same topic; My internal client does not want to see closed tasks that will increase in quantity daily... he prefers to work on the same tasks, finish them and stop seeing them under that epic because they would move to this other epic of closed elements.

If you ask me about the value, this would be the order of daily activities. Thanks for the advice.
