May 08, 2020 It's not a "small tweak" in the back end. The issue type is structural, a lot of configuration is hung off it - it determines the workflow and fields for each issue (with the project covering the rest of the config), so Jira has to check that any change of issue type is not going to mangle the data. Like • Doug May 08, 2020 1 accepted. Go to the board settings -> columns and have a look what statuses are mapped to the backlog. After you do it, make sure that you have a transition from the TODO column status to the status in the Backlog column. You can see transitions in the project workflow scheme defined for your project. 2. Rule1: For Story > copy Epic Link from Epic issue to the Story's "Parent Epic Name" field. 3. Rule2: For Sub-task > copy "Parent Epic Name" from parent issue to Sub-task's "Parent Epic Name" field. Solution. Rule1 is for Bugs/Stories (standard issue types): When: Issue Created. If: matches. project = and issue type in (Bug, Story) Sub-task; Bug; P.s: Parent issues and sub-issues have different workflows. I've been trying to create an automation that triggers whenever the issue type from a parent issue is updated to a sub-level issue (see the screenshot below). Problem: Jira doesn't trigger when I update the issue type from a Parent-issue to a Sub-issue. It only catches one to close all sub-tasks when you mark a parent as done; one (like the rule you have in your screenshot) to close the parent when all sub-tasks are done. For the second rule, you are almost there, but you have a strange combination of conditions in your rule at first sight. You should eliminate the second condition in your For Parent branch 1 answer. 1. Make sure you have Epic Link field on Edit screen of Task Issue Type. 2. Filter all the Tasks that needs to be moved under specific Epic. 3. Bulk update the issues with Epic Link to target Epic Name and you would see all tasks moved under that Epic. It helped me just now! To change an issue’s status with the command palette: Make sure you’re viewing an issue either in the side bar or in full screen. Open the command palette. If you’re a Mac user, press command + K to open the command palette. If you’re a windows user, press Ctrl + K to open the command palette. Search for the command Change status. Move is the best option, in fact that is what move is supposed to do. Why do you think it is not working well for you? There is another option. If your administrator has added the Issue Type field to the screen, then you can change the issue type by selecting the issue type icon near the top of the screen. .
