Create Azure Rule to automate process between parent and child work items

[kadedev]

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.

At present, there aren't any parent/child work-item process rules. There is a community suggestion for this and it's apparently listed in the Azure DevOps roadmap 2023 Q2.

Hello @kadedev ,

I would take a look at Power Automate (office365) or Logic Apps (Azure), for work item flow automation. I created really interesting scenarios in the past with customers using those tools. 

kind regards,

Do you have any example on how to use Power Automate (office365) or Logic Apps (Azure), for work item flow automation.

Im using this GitHub - microsoft/azure-boards-automate-state-transitions: Automate state transitions of parent wor... but having issues.

Thanks

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
And here an example for Logic App: https://www.red-gate.com/simple-talk/devops/tools/automating-azure-devops-logic-apps/
