How do I set the Epic as Done only when all Stories are Done with Automation for JIRA?

[Jamie Scott]

Hi and Happy New Year

Seeking some help with an automation script.

• My EPICS contain 1 or more Issues/Stories
• I want the EPIC status to change to DONE only once all Stories/Issues have change to a set status (Release Live or Complete)

Currently the EPIC status is changing when 1 of many stories are changing to a set status

Here is what I have setup.

Does anyone have an example I can copy?

Hello All,

What if I want the Epic to be moved to "Done" when only the Children of type "Story" are "DONE". Meaning I want to exclude the bugs in the EPIC in this condition. Any idea how I can adjust the above rule accordingly please? TIA

Hi Vishwas

Thanks for sending your suggestion. I tried that but get this error

Hey @Jamie Scott 

I just did a test run for the rule on my instance. it ran fine

Form the error we can see that not able to move to "done' status. do we have a direct transition for epic to move form "To-Do" to "Done" ?

Regards,

Vishwas

Hi Jamie,

You need to add a condition under your branch to make sure all of the stories are Done.

Hey @Jamie Scott 

Yes we can do this, I just came with logic like this check if it works for you.
