Linked Issues Status Condition (JMWE app) Condition

[Martin Wasiak]

I'm trying to prevent an Epic from being resolved while unresolved Child issues remain.   To do that, under the "Transition: Resolved," I'm adding a new Condition configured as follows:

Sadly, this is not preventing the Epic from being resolved even though it contains unresolved stories.  I'm probably missing something simple, but I'm not seeing it.

Hi @Martin Wasiak ,

you need to select "is Epic of" as the link type, which means the current issue is Epic of the related issues whose status must be checked.

[Martin Wasiak]

The wording implies that "All issues .... must be is Epic of"... That's not right.

Can you share a screenshot of the Condition after you configure it according to my suggestion?

[Martin Wasiak]

Sure.  This is how the configuration is displayed when unresolved stories prevent the Epic from being resolved.

[David Fischer]

That seems correct. Isn't it working?

[Martin Wasiak]

It's working.  

However, the grammar is still incorrect because the term "All issues" refers to the "child issues," so the sentence then reads:

"Child Issues" are linked through "is Epic of" and must be in the following statuses:...

This is exactly the opposite of the relationship that I'm expecting.

[David Fischer]

I see your point, it should be phrased better. We'll need to look into this. 

Thanks for your feedback!

David
