Where is the AutoStatus configuration ?
Enter the administrator menu ⚙ → Auto Status Configure.
According to the Jira project and issue type, AutoStatus delineates the issues whose status will change automatically (Automatic Issue Type) and the associated issues that affect its change (Link Issue Type).
STEP 1. Add the Automatic Issue Type
Click the following area to open the “Add Automatic Issue Type“ dialog.
Choose the Jira project and issue type that automatic issues will be in. Click Confirm.
STEP 2. Add the Link Issue Type
In the card of Automatic Issue Type, click the following area to open the “Add Link Issue Type“ dialog.
Choose the Jira project and issue type that link issues will be in. Click Confirm.
STEP 3. Set the status influence ranking and target status
In the card of Automatic Issue Type, click the following icon to open the “Status influence ranking and target status“ dialog.
In the window, you can drag the icon on the left of each row to change the sorting of status. The smaller the serial number, the higher the influence of status. The target status of automatic issues will be determined by the most influential status of all its linked issues. Learn more about Status influence ranking.
Next, you should set the corresponding Status of Automatic Issue Type for each Status of Link Issue Type. If the corresponding target status is <No status>, this status of linked issues will not affect the status of automatic issues.
After setting the status influence ranking and target status, click Confirm. At this point, the status of the automatic issues can automatically change according to the linked issues.
Status auto-change condition
There are some limits for status transition of JIRA workflow. First, there needs to be a workflow transition action from the original state to the target state; Second, a series of validators need to be passed in the conversion process, including permission verification and other user-defined verifications, such as field mandatory verification.
In order to make the status change of automatic issues more smooth, AutoStatus allows the above two conditions to be ignored when the status changes automatically.
Note: When the user in charge of changing the status of link issues does not have the permission to transition the automatic issue, if "Exist transition and do validate" is set, the permission verification will fail, and the user's operation will not make the status of automatic issues change successfully.
