Hi @Jakkula Yashwanth ,

Welcome to the Community!

This can be achieved with a condition in your workflow. Specifically, there is a condition named "Sub-Task Blocking Condition" that you can set to a transition to block the parent from transitioning to "Publication/Archived/Closed" if its sub-tasks has not reached a certain status in the workflow.

In that way you can block the parent from transitioning to its destination status if its sub-tasks has not reached Closed/Done.

Refer to this Documentation to add the condition to workflow transition.

Mayuresh

Hi @Jakkula Yashwanth welcome to the community.

Jira by default does not have a mechanism to check the status of the sub-tasks of a main task when moving it to a particular state.

The best option to solve your need would be to use Jira automation, which is included in Jira Data Center.

* You can see more information about Jira Automation in its official documentation.
* You can also see examples of similar automation rules.

I hope this answer is helpful, best regards!
