Hi @Koen Eisinga and welcome to the community!

You would want something like this:

In this example, I'm transitioning the parent to done when all of the subtasks status = Done.

Hi @Mark Segall, thanks for your welcome and solution.

Your first condition should be sub-task.  Basically, the rule should be doing this:

  1. Subtask transitions to the desired status
  2. The rule navigates to the parent
  3. Looks for other subtasks to verify they are all in the appropriate status
  4. Then transitions the parent to the desired status

Since your rule is looking for issue type task, it likely won't find a parent.

Hi @Koen Eisinga ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community. Your automation could be similar as the below screenshot although you may need to play around with the branch section (For Stories ...) to fit it to your needs and maybe add some conditions to limit the search
