Here I have a Parent Issues (Jira-1170) which is developed by a child issue (Jira-1589). Step 1: My parent issue is in "Pending". Child issue is created and it is in "Pending" Step 2: Now developer worked on the request so Child Issue is "In Development".

This transition in Child ticket must trigger the transition in Parent ticket automatically and set the status on parent ticket to "In Progress".

How can I do this? Please help me guys I am trying this for 5 weeks by watching different tutorials.

Thank You for Trying!!

You can use Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE) add-on to do this. What you need is a "Transition parent issue" post function to be added to the necessary steps in you workflow. This solution works for both Jira Cloud and Jira Server. However, the JMWE extension is not free.

In case you on Jira Cloud, you can use Automation add-on (it is built-in and free). Check out "Related issues condition" and the first of common use cases in this guide.
