JMWE field validators with parent link

Ahmad Sidawi_9aiykc

JMWE allows for field validation of a parent issue using issue.parent.customfield_xyz, but this mainly seems to work with Subtasks and their parent.

Can we apply the same type of validators for issues that are in a Jira hierarchy using Parent Link?

So for an example an Initiative to an Epic, when transitioning the Epic's status we want to check a field in the parent Initiative. Using parent or attempting to access the parent issue's fields hasn't worked so far.

Thanks

Hi @Ahmad Sidawi

unfortunately, Jira Expressions, which is the language 3rd-party apps must use to implement custom Conditions and Validators on Jira Cloud, don't (yet) support the new unified issue hierarchy Atlassian recently introduced, and it also doesn't support Advanced Roadmaps and its "Parent/Child" relationship.
