Redirect to a particular child state whenever a particular parent state is found in Angular UI

I want to redirect from a parent state to a particular child state all the time. Please refer below :

$stateProvider.state('dashboard.view-bills', {
    url: '/individual/view-bills',
    templateUrl: 'modules/view-bill-module/partial/current-invoices/current-invoices.html',
    ncyBreadcrumb: {
        label: ' View Bills'
      }
});

$stateProvider.state('dashboard.view-bills.current-invoices', {
    url: '/current-invoices',
    templateUrl: 'modules/view-bill-module/partial/current-invoices/current-invoices.html',
    ncyBreadcrumb: {
        label: ' Current Invoices'
      }
});

$stateProvider.state('dashboard.view-bills.history-invoices', {
    url: '/invoices',
    templateUrl: 'modules/view-bill-module/partial/history-invoices/history-invoices.html',
    ncyBreadcrumb: {
        label: ' Invoice History'
      }
});

Here, I want to go the 'dashboard.view-bills.current-invoices' state whenever I am in dashboard.view-bills state. I am using angular-breadcrumb from breadcrumbs.

I have used the following code to change the URL : $urlRouterProvider.when('/individual/view-bills' , '/individual/view-bills/current-invoices');

But with this code, the state doesn't change, What is the best way of doing this ? And also, is there any function like : $stateRouterProvider.when('matcher-state' , 'destination-state');

Keep the line $urlRouterProvider.when('/individual/view-bills' , '/individual/view-bills/current-invoices'), you have done half of the job.

What are you missing is the abstract: true in state dashboard.view-bills to make the state change.

Thanks for using angular-breadcrumb, btw ;)
