Example: Moving sub-tasks to "Open" status when parent issue moves to "In Progress"
We see provision in Jira Workflow Toolbox to change parent issue's status when a sub-task's status changes.

Yes, you can do it inserting Write field on linked issues or sub-tasks or Update issue fields post-function in transition "Start Progress" of parent's workflow. In the case of Update issue fields you should use the following configuration:
