I’m still learning Jira automation and could use some guidance on creating a specific rule. I want to build an automation that handles subtasks when their parent story gets marked as done.
Here’s what I need the automation to do:
- Should be triggered manually by a user
- Only activate when the parent issue has a status of “done”
- Find all subtasks that are currently open
- Change those open subtasks to “Cancel” status
- Leave subtasks that are already in other states unchanged
Basically, when a story moves to done status, I want any remaining open subtasks to automatically get cancelled. But if subtasks are already in progress or completed, they should stay as they are.
I’m having trouble figuring out the right conditions to set up in the automation builder. Can someone walk me through what conditions and actions I need to configure for this workflow?
