Resolve issues when all options of a checklist are checked

Use case

Sometimes resolving issues depends on fields set to a specific value. In this case, the issue is automatically resolved and transitioned to "Done" when all options of the checkbox custom field are ticked.

⚒️ Configuration

Field changed 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 → Field changed event

Field

Choose your checkbox custom field

Changed to

Choose Any value

No further configuration needed. The automation rule is triggered every time an issue is being transitioned.

Boolean condition

Add Condition → Boolean condition

Use the following Parser Expression:

Bash

numberOfSelectedItems(%{trigger.issue.c11500}) = numberOfAvailableItems(%{trigger.issue.cf11500})
#Replace field code with the field code of your custom field. Use the field dropdown to automatically insert the field code

cf11500 is the field code for the custom checkbox field. The field code will differ in your instance.
numberOfSelectedItems() and numberOfAvailableItems() are functions that can be used with any selectable field.

Transition issue action

Add Action → Transition issue

Mode

Choose Transitions to status

Status

Choose Done

The target status has to be reachable from the current status, otherwise, the action will not be executed.

Enable the rule by clicking on the Enable button →
