Heyy @DaveFinley,

To meet this requirement create a custom property on the parent case (e.g., EarliestChildStatus) to reflect the lowest/earliest status among all child cases. Use a Declare Trigger or a post-processing activity on child case status change to evaluate and update this property on the parent case. You’ll need to define a custom sort order for statuses (e.g., via a Decision Table or Map Value) since Pega doesn’t inherently know which status is "earlier." Avoid directly manipulating pyStatusWork if frequent updates may interfere with standard flow transitions or SLA behaviors.

Create a report in work calss with filter param as pxcoverinskey and fetch all the child cases tagged to the parent and add a sort condition on transaction date(could be your child case created date), and use this report in a Dpage and fetch the status of the most earliest case.

apply the above outcome to your parent case.
