How to change task status from Blocked to To do, when all blocking tasks are done or closed

[Елена Елена]

Hello there,

I am a newbie in Jira, and have a question about automation

How to change task status from Blocked to To do, when all blocking tasks are done or closed?

when I put this query

issue in linkedIssues('\u007b'{issue.key}, 'is blocked by') and status not in (done, closed)

I got an error when I want to validate it

Invalid JQL

Error in the JQL Query: The character '{' is a reserved JQL character. You must enclose it in a string or use the escape '\u007b' instead. (line 1, character 57)

when I put "$" - Error in the JQL Query: The character '$' is a reserved JQL character. You must enclose it in a string or use the escape '\u0024' instead. (line 1, character 57)

1. Navigate to the Automation section in Jira and create a new rule.
2. Choose "Trigger" and select the option for "When issue updated."
3. Use that JQL query
4. In the "Actions" section, add a "Transition issue" action to transition the current task from the "Blocked" status to the "To Do" status.
