Move parent issue to inprogress , when the first subtask is started

Anil Kumar July 7, 2022

Our workflow is Backlog, open ,inprogress,inreview,test ,close

The automation rule should monitor issues all the time.if the issues is in an open sprint , it should not monitor issues in closed sprins. nor in future sprints nor in the backlog without any sprint.

For each issue the automation finds,it should verify if the parent task is in one of these status."Backlog or Open"
If this is true, the rule should move on but if the parent issue is in any other status ,then the automation should stop.

after that ,the automation should move that parent task ( Previously in backlog/ open) to " INPROGESS"

1. parent task goes into inprogress when the first subtask is in progress.
2.parent task into review when the last subtask is inreview , remaining subtask are already inreview or close
3. Parent task goes to "test "when the last subtask goes to "test", all the subtasks are already in "test" or "close"

Hi @Jack Brickey ,

I have created the rules for below ,PFA images .
1. parent task goes into inprogress when the first subtask is in progress.
2.parent task into review when the last subtask is inreview , remaining subtask are already inreview or close

For 3rd condition  :Parent task goes to "test "when the last subtask goes to "test", all the subtasks are already in "test" or "close"

What would be the condition ?
Appreciate your help
Anil

I think what you are looking for is the IF: Sub-tasks match Status = Test. I found the following post that does a good job of breaking down your requirements.
