Transition Parent: Automation vs Scriptrunner

[Fred]

I'd like to transition a parent in Project A when a child in Project B does.

I can use global automations, though that will chew through our executions. Is there a way to update cross-project with scriptrunner?

ugghh

I had a feeling you were going to say that.
So you'll have to write a custom scripted post function, or an event listener.
Read the issue, find the value of the parent issue, you may have to get the outward link to get that issue then trigger the transition.

Have a look at this post.

Hi @Fred Scriptrunner can most certainly do this in a post function.

Look at the section for:
Transition Parent Issue

Scriptrunner Post Functions

The scriptrunner post function works out of the box if parent and child are in the same project. Mine share a workflow, though are in two different projects. I didn't see anything about cross-project executions?

Do you have any other plugins?
JWT or JSU they both have this functionality.
Jira Workflow Toolbox and Jira Scripting Utilities...
