sub task in the same status that the principal task

[Raymundo López Guzmán]

How can I make the  sub-tasks (jira software) when they are created, enter the state of the parent task, and if the parent task returns, the sub-tasks do it too?

Hi Raymundo,

If your Task is in "In Progress", would be weird to have all the sub-tasks in the same status. Since the meaning of the sub-task is dividing the work into small pieces, having all the sub-tasks in the same "In Progress" status would not reflect the reality in most cases. The sub-task should be part of a separated process inside your Task.

Maybe if your task is Done, and you put it back to ToDo, would make more sense to use the event listener that Rambabu mentioned, instead of doing that for all scenarios.

Just make sure this requirement of yours is not a problem in your internal process. Example: Instead of creating a bug, the person responsible for testing the ticket is putting it back to the ToDo column. Increasing too much the lifetime of a single ticket on your board will just mask bigger problems (like the quantity of bugs p/ ticket).

Of course it is just an example and maybe what I said doesn't apply to you.

Have a good day

Issues are created in one status so you cannot do this.

But you can write a "listener" that will spot sub-task "create" events, scan the parent for what that status is, and then push the sub-task into the right status.

For creating event listeners see the documentation.
