      Problem

      Currently it is not possible to implement automations which require nested branch.

      One use case is:

      There is a parent issue with a subtask. The subtask has some linked issues. When workflow status of the parent issue changes to a particular status, the linked issues of the subtask should also change to those. if the parent issue status changes to X, that of the linked issues of the sub-task should also be X

      Suggested Solution

      Add the ability to have nested branches.

      Why This Is Important

      • If we include subtask in the branch, the actions will be performed on the sub-task and not the issues linked with the subtask.
      • If we include Linked issues in the branch, then no branched issues will be found because the trigger issue does not have the linked issues but it's Subt-task do.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behaviour. A workaround will be added here when available.
