This is the documentation of JSU for Jira Cloud. If you are using JSU on Jira Server/Data Center,

you can find the documentation here

Info
NOTE: This guide starts from the "Edit Workflow" screen of a chosen project. If you're not sure how to get to this page, follow the onboarding steps

first on either: /wiki/spaces/JSUCLOUD/pages/27801900 or /wiki/spaces/JSUCLOUD/pages/1147633753

for existing projects in Edit a Jira Workflow.

Keep your backlog clean by ensuring that parent issues are automatically closed when all of

its

their sub-tasks are completed

↓ Follow

the visual

the step-by-step guide below to see how to configure this automation in your Jira instance. ↓

Configure the post function

If you haven't already, switch the workflow viewer into "Diagram View" and ensure you are in "Edit Mode"

We want to close parent issues when
its

status. Click on the arrow that points inwards to this status to show the transition rule menu.
As we
We want to add a
Post-Function
post function to this transition, which runs an automation after the issue has been transitioned to the target status. Select "Post Functions" from the list which opens a new tab.

functions.

Choose "Linked Transition (JSU)" and then click "Add" at the bottom of the screen.

closed, so let's set "Trigger transition on all issues related as" to "Parent / Sub-Task >
Parent
Parent (Issue in Transition must be Sub-Task)".

Now, we have to tell JSU which transition and in which workflow
do we
we want to transition the
Parent
parent issue we just selected. As we want to keep this rule simple, we only want this rule to apply to issues in our "JSU" project. So for "Transition", we select the workflow that applies to our JSU project and the "Done" transition. This means any parent issues will be transitioned to
Status
colour Green
title DONE
as part of the rule we're configuring.

But remember, we only want the parent to be transitioned to
Status
colour Green
title DONE
if ALL of
it's
its sub-tasks are also
Status
colour Green
title DONE
. To configure this, for "All other sibling issues (for example linking to the target with the same link type) must have one of the following statuses" we're going to set this as "Done".

The remaining fields are optional. For your reference though we can talk about how you might want to use the remaining fields. If you're happy as is, feel free to proceed to Step #9.
1. Resolution - If you would like to add a
  Resolution
  resolution to the parent issue after the post
  -
  function closes it, you can define which
  Resolution
  resolution to choose in this field.
2. Perform as user - In Jira Cloud, all "actions" both manual and automated, must be performed by a registered Atlassian account. If you'd like JSU to impersonate another user to run its automation, you can choose that user here. It's important to note that the impersonated user must have the right account privileges to perform the action. If you're not sure, just leave this field blank. Leaving the field blank means the automation will be
  ran
  run as the "JSU add-on user" which has elevated privileges and can perform most functions.
3. Copy field - If you'd like to add more information to the parent issue as part of the automation, you can describe what information you'd like to add here.
Now you're ready to save your new
Post-Function
post function. To do this, click "Add" at the bottom of the page.

You can now see a
preview summary
summary of all your
Post-Functions
post functions applied to this transition. To confirm this new workflow and test it out, you need to publish it. At the top of the screen click "Publish Draft" and then either "Yes" or "No" if you'd like to save a backup of the workflow before our changes are applied, followed by "Publish" again.

Test the post function in the workflow

Now we can go test the post

function in action!

Head to an open issue that has one or more open sub-tasks within it.

Now proceed to transition all of the subtasks to
Status

title done
.

Now refresh/reload the parent issue. You'll notice that it has now also been transitioned to
Status

- which means our

post function has worked as expected!

Congratulations! You've just configured your very own automation!
