Create Azure Rule to automate process between parent and child work items
I could not find any documentation on how to automate the process between parent and child work item using rules. Here are my issues:
*Added a new flag to the task work item in order to be flip by the automation process with state T/F
*The automated process would watch for Bug to flip into the status Ready, and also the child task would the flag flipped into T.

The link given is C# project that manages the work items using the ADO API. I would forget about it as it is too complex and the repo is archived.
There are lot of action/triggers for Azure DevOps on Azure Logic Apps and Power Automate. Here you can see an example for Power Automate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK86TLZQw9A&t=411s
