An issue should not start unless the issue on which it is dependent is completed.. How to set?

[Amit Kadam]

I am trying to link dependencies in issues... My requirement is that an issue should not start unless the issue on which it is dependant is completed... I linked the issues but it only shows that it is dependent on some other issue... I am able to resolve the issue without the other issue is still in progress.... How can I set this scheme in JIRA?

Hello,

You could also use the Power Scripts add-on:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/43318/power-scripts-jira-script-automation?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

You could write a condition like this:

string[] linkedIssues = linkedIssues(key);
for(string linkedIssue in linkedIssues) {
 if(%linkedIssue%.status != "Closed") {
 return false;
 }
}
return true;

You can find more info on conditions here:
