Can I automatically trigger a status update for Issue A based on the status of linked issues B,C,D?

[Teresa de Figueiredo]

If Issue A is "Blocked", I would like to update "Blocked" -> "To Do" only if all the linked issues have been resolved OR deleted. Is this possible in JIRA automation?

Hi Teresa,

This can be done Automation for Jira.

You need to create a rule with the following:

• When issue transitioned
• JQL condition to check that issue is resolved
• For linked issues (Branch)
  • Using the related issues Condition, check that all linked issues match the JQL - statusCategory = Done
  • Check the issue matches 
  • Transition the issue to "To Do"

It should look like:

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Nick

Thanks for your help, I'll try it out!

there has a workflow condition called "Sub-Task Blocking Condition" which will allow you to select the specific status of sub-task to allow the transition of parent issue.

Thanks! Does this also work for linked issues? not just subtasks?

[Bryan Bai]

sorry, was thinking you ask for sub-task. there no out-of-box solution for the linked issue. But you can have it by adding some script customization. we were using SIL plugin to have a script loop all linked issue and judge the status, then you can put this script as the condition of a workflow.
