Linked Issue Validator

Atlassians:

I need to be able to prevent a workflow transition based on the status of a linked ticket.

Main ticket is of one issue type and has a linked ticket of another issue type.

Transition of Main ticket from status A to status B should be allowed ONLY if the linked ticket is in the "Done" status.

I have tried utilizing the "Validation of linked issues" validator, properly (at least it looks right to me) setting up all the properties of the validator.

The result is: Moving the Main ticket from status A to B (as explained above) when the linked ticket is NOT in "Done" is not allowed by the validator (works as expected).

HOWEVER - Moving the Main ticket from status A to B when the linked ticket IS "Done" is also not being allowed by the validator (does NOT work as expected).

What am I missing? (I tried the same with "Condition" > same results)

If you have a scripting app, such as ScriptRunner or JMWE, you can use a validator script like we have done. 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink

//Outward links, where we'll find any "is linked to PCE" links
def issueLinks = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())
def numClosedPceIssues = 0

//Inward links, where we'll find any "is request for project" links
def inwardIssueLinks = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getInwardLinks(issue.getId())
def numProjectIssues = 0

def linkedObject

//check outward links for "is linked to PCE" links
for(IssueLink i in issueLinks)
{
//want only PCE links
if(i.getIssueLinkType().getName() == "PCE")
{
linkedObject = i.getDestinationObject()
//want only PCE issues with resolution of Complete
if(linkedObject.getIssueType().getName() == "PCE" && linkedObject.getResolution()?.getName() == "Complete")
{
numClosedPceIssues++
}
}
}

//if there are no linked closed PCEs, check inward links for "is request for project" links
if(numClosedPceIssues == 0)
{
for(IssueLink i in inwardIssueLinks)
{
//want only Project links
if(i.getIssueLinkType().getName() == "Project Portfolio Link")
{
linkedObject = i.getSourceObject()
//want only Project issues
if(linkedObject.getIssueType().getName() == "Project")
{
numProjectIssues++
}
}
}
}

return numClosedPceIssues > 0 || numProjectIssues > 0
