How to configure this rule

...

Test the post function in the workflow

Noteinfo

We recommend that you build and test your rules in a test project.

  1. Go to an open issue that includes one or more open subtasks. If you do not have a test project with the necessary issues, create a task and add a few subtasks.

    Example Jira issue with multiple subtasks in the To Do status.
  2. Transition all of the subtasks to 

    Status
    colourGreen
    titledone
    .

    Example Jira issue with subtasks moved to the Done status.
  3. Refresh the browser to reload the parent issue. You'll notice that it has now also been transitioned to 

    Status
    colourGreen
    titledone
     - which means our post function has worked as expected!.

    Example Jira issue with parent task in the Done status.


    Congratulations! You've just configured your very own automation with the Universal Rule Builder!
