Can I set a restriction for Story can't be `Done` without all of its sub-tasks' are `Done`?

Sumeyye Kazdal

Hello all

I would like to set a restriction for an issue's status. It shouldn't be possible to set the status of a story as Done unless all of its sub-tasks are Done. I am not sure if I can add extra step to post-function or condition or validator?

I would be very glad if you lead me.

Hi @Sumeyye Kazdal

Welcome to the ccommuniy!

You will  have to use a validator or condition that checks substasks statuses, but this option is only available with plugins such as jmwe or jsu.

There are also other ways to do something similar with jira automation. Where it automatically transitions when subtasks are done. Here is a post: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-discussions/Jira-Automation-Video-Tutorial-on-how-to-keep-Parent-and/td-p/1783535
