Rules for Automation To change status of tickets link by Blocked (if A is done -> B is done -> C...)

[Eloi]

Hello community !

First question for me here, i'm not sure i really search well in the jira forum but i can't find an answer for now. I will try to be clear as possible but i'm not a native english speaker.

So here it is :

I try to make an automation rules for tickets linked together when the status of the last tickets change in Done the previous tickets related by "blocked by" need to be change in done to. It could work in the other way with "blocks".

To be clear :

IF Subtask D status transitionned to DONE and is blocked by subtask C

So : subtask C need to change status in DONE (if not allready). Subtask C is allready blocked by subtask B.

On this part it's all good. BUT i can't manage to do the next part :

SO Subtask B need to change status in DONE (if not allready). Subtask B is blocked by subtask A.

SO Subtask A need to change status in DONE (if not allready). End of the automation because subtask A is not blocked by any other subtask.

Any idea to make that happen ?

Hi @Eloi and welcome to Community!

Have you checked the "Check to allow other rule actions to trigger this rule. Only enable this if you need this rule to execute in response to another rule" box?

Hope this helps!
