Hi Rick,

Can you please confirm the version of JIRA Workflow Toolbox you are using?

Can you please attach a screenshot showing the post-function's tab of the transition where you are using the plugin to transition parent issue? I need to see al the post-function that are being executed and the order of execution.

V2.1.31

Though I think I found the "problem": I'm trying to affect an Epic based on a linked story... not a parent story/sub story... when I create the sub-story of a parent things work. But story as child of epic does not. I could totally see the 2 being different relationships in the db.

So question: can I have a story's status affect an epic's status?

Rick, you should use post-function "Write field on linked issues or subtasks", since epic - story relationship is an issue link type.

Previously, you will need to use "Copy a parsed text to a field" post-function, in order to write into an ephemeral string field the name of the status you want to write into epic's "Issue status (delayed writing)" virtual field.

Here you have explained something similar to what you intend to do: "Automatically resolve "Epic" when all its "Stories" are resolved"

I close the issue. Please, reopen it if you need additional support.
