Parameters:

  • On the “Trigger transition on all issues related as” parameter, choose “Parent/Sub-task”. On the drop down menu, make sure it says “All sub-tasks (issue in Transition must be parent)”.
  • On the “Transition” drop-down menu, select your project and the transition “Done (21)“ to ensure all sub-tasks would turn to Done.
  • Finally, click “Add” at the bottom of the page.
