Auto trigger status change between parent-child work items
RTC 4.0.5 used.
The user's requirement is either parent or child work item has status change, it should trigger the other side's status change automatically(All Children Resolved --> "Requires that a work item can only be resolved if all of its children are resolved." won't help). Is there any way to achieve that? I am thinking dependency script based value but not sure if it would work for the workflow(status). Does anyone have any ideas or we have to go to pre-condition/follow-up extension for the request? Thank you very much in advance. |
Accepted answer
there is nothing supplied with the product to do this..
Ralph has a sample participant that will close a parent if all its children are now closed (from the last closing child) http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/11/27/resolve-parent-if-all-children-are-resolved-participant/ Don Yang selected this answer as the correct answer

Sam,
thanks for the quick response. I actually happened to find out the same info from other post in which Ralph provided his blog link just now before I saw your info. I guess it is close to the one I am after. Can you please put your comments as an answer so that I can accept it as the right answer? Thanks
no problem.. we also want the other side.. if a child starts, the parent should be started.. I have that on my list to do. our Scrum Masters spend an hour a day fiddling with states to keep this accurate..
