Use Case

This workflow helps you manage the assignment of tasks and subtasks.

Rules

This workflow includes two rules.

Inherit parent Assignee to subtasks

This rule checks a subtask when it is linked to a parent task. If the subtask is not assigned, the issue is assigned to the assignee of the parent task.

rule Inherit parent Assignee to subtasks

when parent for.added.isNotEmpty {
    for each subtask in parent for.added {
        if (subtask.Assignee == null) {
            subtask.Assignee = Assignee;
        }
    }
}

Update subtasks Assignee on parent Assignee changing

The next rule checks for subtasks when an issue is assigned to another user.

If the subtasks are in an active project, the assignee for each subtask is set to the assignee of the parent task.
If the subtasks are in an archived project, they are ignored.

rule Update subtasks Assignee on parent Assignee changing

when Assignee.changed {
    for each subtask in parent for {
        if (subtask.project.isArchived()) {
            continue;
        }
        if (subtask.Assignee == Assignee.oldValue) {
            subtask.Assignee = Assignee;
        }
    }
}
