Use case

Keeping parent issues and sub-tasks is often a real word use casein sync, as described in this use case. The following automation rule keeps not a field value in sync but updates the sub-tasks' status depending on the parent issue's , is a lot of manual work. This automation rule will update the status of all sub-tasks based on the parent status: When the parent issue is rejected, all sub-tasks are transitioned to

When to use this automation rule and when to use a workflow post function?

This use case is very useful, if there are several software projects with different workflows where all related issues have to be closed on releasing a new version. Configuring just one automation rule might then be the easier way to go. But if this scenario is only necessary for one workflow, the Transition Issues post function would make more sense. In this case you might want to check out our corresponding post function use case.
