prevent closing an Epic until all linked issues are closed

[Uday Kiran Raparthy]

What would the coding in Scriptrunner be if I don't have the JMWE add-on available? Could you help me with this one?

Requirement: "Close epic only possible when all stories and bugs related are closed". using Status category = Done

Hi @Uday Kiran Raparthy ,

You can add the following script as a Workflow Condition:
Conditions -> Add condition -> Script Condition [ScriptRunner] -> Simple scripted condition
And if you want to be sure to no one can trick, add the same script as a Workflow Validation:
Validators -> Add validator -> Script Validator [ScriptRunner] -> Simple scripted validator

//All Issues in Epic number equals Closed Issues in Epic

allClosed

Hi Tamas,

Please note that this code provided is for Jira Server and will not work in Jira Cloud which this ticket is marked as due to the fact Atlassian only provides a Rest API in Jira Cloud and does not provide  a Java api in Jira cloud like they do in Jira Server.

You can see further details between the cloud and server versions of ScriptRunner inside of the documentation page located here.

Kristian

Hi Kristian,

You're right. I skip the part that the question belongs to a Jira Cloud. Thank you for pointing me. In this case, my solution not really work in this form.

Cheers,

Hi Uday,

I can confirm that ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud provides the workflow conditions and workflow validators features that could be used to achieve this requirement and you can see further details of how these work here and here.

I can confirm we also have a sample condition located here which you will be able to take and to modify to help achieve your requirement.

I hope this information helps.

Regards,

Kristian

Hi Uday, under Related Content in the right-hand sidebar I found this post How-to-Prevent-Close-of-Epic-Until-All-of-its-Issues-are-Closed Which offers a Scriptrunner code example. You might give that a try.
