Auto-close parent and sub-issues

New automation features let you automatically close parent issues when all sub-issues are done, or close all sub-issues when the parent is marked complete. Also added reverse sort ordering for issues and projects across all views except manual and status-ordered ones.

Auto-close parent and sub-issues Streamline your issue workflow with auto-close for parent and sub-issues. This new automation can be enabled in two ways: Parent auto-close When all sub-issues [2] are marked as done, the parent issue [1] will also be marked as complete automatically. Sub-issue auto-close When the parent issue [1] is marked as done, all remaining sub-issues [2] will also be marked as complete. These automations will work in tandem with your existing git workflow automations and can be enabled under Settings > Team > Workflow. Reverse sort ordering You can now reverse the sort order of issues or projects in Linear. Open the Display options on any view to change the ordering direction. Reverse sort order is available for all views except those ordered manually or by status.
