Linked Issues Status Condition (JMWE app) doesn't work as expected.

Gregory Kremer_mx3rfi

Hello Jira experts. Need a second pair of eyes to review my Condition and let me know why it doesn't work.

The condition in question is placed on the transition to Completed (Done) Workflow status to close "Initiative" issue Type issue. It requires for all "child" Epics to be in the StatusCategory = Done (green) in order to do so. Here is how it looks like

But it doesn't work for me, and I don't see why. I also tried similar Validation but it didn't work either. Any suggestion as to why it is happening would be greatly appreciated.

Gregory,

At first glance, it looks to me like you may have chosen the wrong direction for the "is Parent of" link. Since the Initiative is the one you're trying to close, the Epics would be linked through the "is Child of" link type (I'm assuming that's what you've called it).

This might be confusing because what the condition is asking is, "How is the Epic linked to the current issue?" and what you see when looking at the Initiative is, "How is the current issue linked to the Epic?" - you'll want to click through to one of the Epics, then see which link it has back to the Initiative.

Let me know how that works!

Cheers,
Evn
