Move status from Inprogress to Completed

Question

Hi All,

Allow owner to move parent(MBI) workflow status from Inprogress to completed while all the child issues under it are closed/accepted otherwise show an error message if anyone of the child issue is not closed/accepted.

Here we are creating Epic issuetype as a child issue under MBI issuetype by giving MBI link as a parent link.

How can we do this please anyone suggest me.

Regards,

Geethanjali.

I  have seen in validator but there is no option for my requirement.

In condition we have but that is for subtask.

Actually we are not creating any subtask we are creating issuetype Epic under MBI by giving MBI link as parent link. For that we are using Structure plugin.

Can we do this by scripting in jira cloud if yes let me know how to do.

Or any other solution please.

You'll need to look at the conditions in the workflow, probably adding one to check whether the status change is valid.

However, a condition will not give you a message on failure, so you might want to consider a validator instead, these can give you the feedback, but are a bit clunky for the end user as it lets them start the transition before failure.
