Change Azure DevOps Parent Work Item status when all linked children work items meet certain condition?


I see there are plenty of options for creating custom rules in Azure DevOps, but I don't see one (or perhaps I'm not interpreting it correctly), that handles this scenario.

I have an Epic. That Epic has a state of "In Progress".

That Epic has 10 user stories as linked child items. Each Story has a state as well.

Can I create a rule that when all 10 of those stories stages reach "Done", then the parent Epic will automatically change state to "Done"?

Any thoughts on how to do this?


Solution

  • As of this time, however, automate state transitions of parent work items by Azure DevOps process rules is not supported.

    But you can add a web hook and use the code and configuration provided in the Automate State Transitions GitHub project.
