Move Parent Issue, when Child Issue (Epic) is moved to another status

[Daniel Hamann]

Hello, 

i've created mulitple issutypes above the epic.
The Complete Hierarchy is: "Ebene 2" > "Ebene 1" > "Epic" > "Task" > "Sub-Task

The Connection / Link in between "Ebene 2" and "Ebene 1" is via "parent link". 
The Connection / Link in between "Ebene 1" and "Epic" is via "parent link".

I want to reach that if a certain "Epic" which is connected with an issue in "Ebene 1" is moved from one status to another also the related Parent Issue in "Ebene 1" is moved to the next status. 
How can i get the Parent in "Ebene 1" with a correct branching?

Unfortunately branching / looping though the "Parent link" field is not yet supported https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-1779

Is there any prospect, that this will change in the near future?

Hi @Daniel Hamann ,

As I interprete your description it seems you are working with advanced roadmap. Is that right?

Hi Stefan,

yes exactly that’s right!

[Stefan Salzl]

As far as I know the issue hierarchy is not extended through advanced roadmap which means the created „structure“ is not detected as parent known from standard issues.

To be honest I‘m not that proficient with advanced roadmaps but I think I remember a question here in the community where this was discussed.

Hi @Daniel Hamann 

I believe this would work:

• TRIGGER: Issue Transitioned
• CONDITION: Issue Type = Epic
• BRANCH: On Parent
  • ACTION: Transition Issue

However, I'm not 100% whether parent is actually looking at the parent field or some kind of hard coding against epic.  So if that fails, you could try an advanced branch against {{issue.parent}}

At first thank you very much for your quick response. 

Sadly none of the two options worked. i guess it's because the triggered issue isn a sub-task. because both branches just seem to work with the child issue beeing a sub-task. 

Do you maybe have another idea?
