JIRA Automation Rule - Update Start Date of parent when sub task is shifted to in-progress

[Sean]

Hi, Is there a rule for when sub task is shifted to in progress, the parent card is sync to in progress and thereafter start date is updated?

hi @Sean 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

you can achieve that by creating an automation rule, have the trigger as issue transition and specify inside it (from - to) statuses.

then add a condition that issuetype = subtask

last , open a branch and select parent, and add an action under that branch to edit issue due date and use smart value {{now}}
