Auto-close parent and sub-issues

Auto-close parent and sub-issues

Streamline your issue workflow with auto-close for parent and sub-issues. This new automation can be enabled in two ways:

Parent auto-close

When all sub-issues [2] are marked as done, the parent issue [1] will also be marked as complete automatically.

Sub-issue auto-close

When the parent issue [1] is marked as done, all remaining sub-issues [2] will also be marked as complete.

These automations will work in tandem with your existing git workflow automations and can be enabled under Settings > Team > Workflow.
