Power of Automation :: Automatically close the associated tasks once the Issues are closed

Power of Automation :: Automatically close the associated tasks once the Issues are closed

Hello Everyone,
 
A Custom Function is a user-written set of code to achieve a specific requirement. Set the required conditions needed as to when to trigger using the Workflow rules (be it Tasks / Project) and associate the custom function to it. 

We have compiled a gallery of the most frequently solved use cases for Issues custom functions. You can access the same using the steps available in this link.        

And, today I would like to highlight one of the Gallery custom functions - Complete associated tasks once all issues are closed
 
Use case:-

This function marks all the associated tasks as completed once all related issues are closed.

Custom function code:-

Create a connection for the Zoho Projects service with the scopes "ZohoProjects.bugs.READ, ZohoProjects.tasks.UPDATE,ZohoProjects.projects.READ". Replace 'xxxxxxxxx' with the connection link name.

Click this link below to learn how to create the connection. Attached a screenshot for Arguments to be used.
