Use case
Keeping parent issues and sub-tasks is often a real word use case, 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 status: When the parent issue is rejected, all sub-tasks are transitioned to REJECTED accordingly.
Issue Transitioned Event
Create a new rule and name it appropriately.
Providing a description will help you to identify what the rule does but this step is optional.
Add a Trigger → Issue Transitioned Event.
No further configuration needed. The automation rule is triggered every time an issue is being transitioned.
