Add comment to sub-task when parent transitions

[Will]

I'd like to add a post-function so that when a parent issue is resolved all sub-tasks get a new comment in the form of:

"The parent issue of this subtask has been resolved as "<resolution goes here>" <Parent Issue Key>"

Could you advise?

Hi Will,

You can do it using 2 post-functions in transition "Resolve Issue" of parent's workflow:

1) Post-function "Copy a parsed text to a field" with the following configuration:

Text to be parsed is:

The parent issue of this subtask has been resolved as "%{00028}": %{00015}.

Note that:

• %{00028} is field code for "Resolution".
• %{00015} is field code for "Issue Key".

2) Post-function "Write field on linked issues or subtasks" with the following configuration:

Once configured, transition "Resolve Issue" in parent's workflow will look like this:

This solution also works if parent issue and subtasks share the same workflow.

Beautiful! Thanks again.
